| AIRLINES DATASET | |
| Version 1.0 | |
| November 19, 2007 | |
| ***************************************************** | |
| Sources: the list of US airports is from | |

| the list of airlines is from http://www.wikipedia.org | |
| the list of flights is synthesized. | |

| This file describes the contents of the AIRLINES dataset | |
| developed for the CPE 365, Introduction to Databases, | |
| course at Cal Poly. | |
| The dataset contains information about some US airlines and | |
| airports, and routes flown by the airlines between these airports. | |
| General Conventions. | |
| 1. All files in the dataset are CSV (comma-separated values) files. | |
| 2. First line of each file provides the names of | |
| columns. Second line may be empty, or may contain | |
| the first row of the data. | |
| 3. All string values are enclosed in single quotes (') | |
| 4. All string values in the airports.csv and flights.csv files | |
| have a trailing space.This is important to note, because | |
| one of the string columns, airport code is the unique identifier | |
| of the airport. This issue needs to be dealt with programmatically. | |
| The dataset consists of the following files: | |
| - airlines.csv : list of airlines | |
| - airports100.csv : list of airports | |
| - flights.csv : list of flights | |
| Individual files have the following formats. | |
