ZIP*Data has been updated!
This updated version file format has been converted from dBase and fixed-length formats into a comma-separated (CSV) format. These CSV files can be opened natively in Excel and easily imported into relational databases such as SQL Server and MySQL. To further make our product easier for you to use, all the relational tables have been joined into a single master table. This does result in a lot of repeated tables, but it allows for a single view of the records to find all related information.
