    <blockquote> <p><strong>Possible Duplicate:</strong><br> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24481/what-is-the-best-way-to-store-international-addresses-in-a-database">What is the “best” way to store international addresses in a database?</a> </p> </blockquote> <p>I would like the application to be global; meaning people from multiple countries (namely Australia, New Zealand, The United States and United Kingdom) can place listings. Because different countries have different formats of postcode, different classifications for areas (Australia and America have states, but places like Canada or the UK are different), how do I effectively store of all of this information?</p> <p>I just can't envision in my head what the MySQL database schema for something like this would look like. I don't need to store any coordinates, just the users country, suburb/city/area and state/province so I can properly classify all of the information and display it on a classified listing.</p>

    2. COAzulflame there are numerous ways in which a headline for something can be written. I hardly see how asking a question about my title helps answer the question I asked. Eggyal, that looks pretty close to what I am asking, however is it just me or was there no actual answer provided, but rather just a debate on how addresses should be stored?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
