-modification date : date of last modification in yyyy-MM-dd format

-AdminCodes:
-Most adm1 are FIPS codes. ISO codes are used for US, CH, BE and ME. UK and Greece are using an additional level between country and fips code. The code '00' stands for general features where no specific adm1 code is defined.
-The corresponding admin feature is found with the same countrycode and adminX codes and the respective feature code ADMx.

-
-The table 'alternate names' :
------------------------------
-alternateNameId   : the id of this alternate name, int
-geonameid         : geonameId referring to id in table 'geoname', int
-isolanguage       : iso 639 language code 2- or 3-characters; 4-characters 'post' for postal codes and 'iata','icao' and faac for airport codes, fr_1793 for French Revolution names,  abbr for abbreviation, link to a website (mostly to wikipedia), wkdt for the wikidataid, varchar(7)
-alternate name    : alternate name or name variant, varchar(400)
-isPreferredName   : '1', if this alternate name is an official/preferred name
-isShortName       : '1', if this is a short name like 'California' for 'State of California'
-isColloquial      : '1', if this alternate name is a colloquial or slang term. Example: 'Big Apple' for 'New York'.
-isHistoric        : '1', if this alternate name is historic and was used in the past. Example 'Bombay' for 'Mumbai'.
-from		  : from period when the name was used
-to		  : to period when the name was used
-
-Remark : the field 'alternatenames' in the table 'geoname' is a short version of the 'alternatenames' table without links and postal codes but with ascii transliterations. You probably don't need both. 
-If you don't need to know the language of a name variant, the field 'alternatenames' will be sufficient. If you need to know the language
-of a name variant, then you will need to load the table 'alternatenames' and you can drop the column in the geoname table.

-Boundaries:
-Simplified country boundaries are available in two slightly different formats:
-shapes_simplified_low:
-geonameId: 	The geonameId of the feature
-geoJson:	The boundary in geoJson format
-
-shapes_simplified_low.json:
-similar to the abovementioned file, but fully in geojson format. The geonameId is a feature property in the geojson string.
