# Country Dimension by Douro **The Essential Geographic Reference Table for Your Data Warehouse** <p><br/></p> ## **What This Is** A ready-to-use country dimension table based on ISO 3166 standards, providing a complete reference of countries with standardized codes and attributes. <p><br/></p> ## **What's Included** - Full ISO 3166 country listing with standard identifiers - Alpha-2, Alpha-3, and numeric country codes - Official country names and common names - Region and subregion classifications <p><br/></p> ## **Perfect For** - Data architects building data warehouses needing standardized geographic dimensions - Analysts wanting consistent country references across reports - Organizations requiring ISO-compliant country codes for international operations <p><br/></p> ## **What This is *Not*** - This is not a geospatial dataset with coordinates, maps, or boundaries - This is not a data enrichment service with demographic, economic, or other country statistics - This is not a live service - updates follow ISO standard changes only <p><br/></p> ## **Implementation Time** Less than 5 minutes to integrate with your existing data warehouse! <p><br/></p> ## **Schema** Further details and schema examples are available on our [documentation website](https://docs.dourodata.com/products/country_dimension/) <p><br/></p> ## Example usage Imagine you have source data with a three digit alpha code representing the country. Generating a Fact Table, the alpha code would be replaced with the ID/Key found on the country dimension. This key can then be used to join back across in the future to use any other dimensional attribute. Check the sample queries for an example you can play with live. <p><br/></p> ## **Data update policy** This is an important note copied over from the [pycountry](https://github.com/pycountry/pycountry) repository, which feeds the data for this dimension. > No changes to the data will be accepted into pycountry. This is a pure wrapper around the ISO standard using the `pkg-isocodes` database from Debian as is. If you need changes to the political situation in the world, please talk to the ISO or Debian people, not me. <p><br/></p> <p><br/></p> <p><br/></p>
