Looking up state by zip code
December 24, 2011, 06:42:46 am
For some odd reason we have a bunch of addresses in our DB with a zip code but no city and state, or vice-versa.
Any ideas on how this could be fixed en-masse?

there is a file sql/zipcodes.mysql

http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/branches/v4.1/sql/zipcodes.mysql

Source that file, create a table and use an inner join against it to update the city/state elements in your address table
