I've had several projects needing a database of countries and cities, and all I can find are excessively comprehensive databases such as geodatasource. The sheer volume of cities (2 million+) in those databases is far too big and keeps crashing the browser when I try to populate the city select menu with ajax when the country is selected.
What I'm looking for is all countries and major cities/towns for each country, say with a criteria of >20,000 population or 2500km2 land mass. This should remove all villages from the results and should return just the major centres. Can anyone recommend where to get such a database? I don't mind paying for it. I just need the Country title and ISO code and city titles with corresponding country id.
