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.

Cheers, Anthony.
