 GeoNames is site that aggregates information of all regions around the world. That information may be searched in the site or via a Web service.

However, if you need to perform intensive queries on the available information, it would be faster if you query it locally. The site also provides dumps of their database, so you can retrieve and use it locally in any other site.

This class can parse the Geonames database dump files and import it into a local MySQL database to make it easier to query the Geonames information in a much faster way.
