Lookup Table in SQL Server ¶

The following T-SQL script creates a lookup table containing all the U.S. States, Territories, and DC as well as all the Canadian Provinces and Territories. This table is called Config.Region. The regions can be filter by the following group codes.

USS = U.S. State
UST = U.S. Territory or District
CDP = Canadian Province
CDT = Canadian Territory
