Step 1: Create and connect to 'ip2location' database

CREATE DATABASE ip2location;
USE ip2location;

Step 2: Create 'ip_country' table

CREATE TABLE `ip_country`(
`ip_from` DECIMAL(39,0) UNSIGNED,
`ip_to` DECIMAL(39,0) UNSIGNED,
`country_code` CHAR(2),
`country_name` VARCHAR(64),
INDEX `idx_ip_from` (`ip_from`),
INDEX `idx_ip_to` (`ip_to`),
INDEX `idx_ip_from_to` (`ip_from`, `ip_to`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;

Step 3. Import the IP2Location LITE IP-COUNTRY IPV6 Database into table ‘ip_country’, you can get the Lite database at https://lite.ip2location.com/database/ip-country

LOAD DATA LOCAL
INFILE 'IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.IPV6.CSV'
INTO TABLE  `ip_country`
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 0 LINES;

The full version of IP-Country database is available for subscription at $49/year from https://www.ip2location.com/databases/db1-ip-country. If you have the full version of IP2Location™ IP-Country database, the import process is easier by using the LOAD DATA feature available in MYSQL.

Step 4: Download country information at here. Create ip2location_country_information table:

CREATE TABLE `ip2location_country_information`(
`country_code` CHAR(2),
`capital` VARCHAR(50),
`total_area` DOUBLE,
`population` INT(10) UNSIGNED,
`idd_code` VARCHAR(5),
`currency_code` CHAR(3),
`currency_name` VARCHAR(50),
`lang_code` CHAR(2),
`lang_name` VARCHAR(50),
`cctld` CHAR(2),
INDEX `idx_country_code` (`country_code`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;
 
LOAD DATA LOCAL
INFILE 'IP2LOCATION-COUNTRY-INFORMATION.CSV' INTO TABLE `ip2location_country_information`
CHARACTER SET latin1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' IGNORE 1 LINES;
