SQL Script to Create Country Table And Populate With All Country Names

Friends,

In almost all application we use Country field in the database to store the Country of a user/entity. For this, we either use a text box where user enters the country name or provide user with a drop down list of all countries. to create the dropdown, it is advised to store country names in a database table. This post gives you a complete SQL script to create a Country table and populate it with the country names.
