I contacted USPs, and they do not provide an XML file of this. Is there another source? I found some promising things on SBS.gov. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hello all. I am attempting to update some older processes here at our office. We are converting our older VFP databases to SQL Server. I am a newbie to both .NET programming and SQL server, though I have been working with VFP databases and code for years. We currently manually maintain city information in a VFP table. I would like to automate the process by using a XML file and a nightly table update. My goal is to get an official XML file of all city/zip combinations from USPS or SBA.gov or equivalent, and write VB to run nightly and update a SQL table on our servers. Does this make sense? How can I go about this?<br />
TIA<br />
Amanda

How to download City/Zip XML into SQL Server Table

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.
