adding script to load countries to mysql

[doron2402]

we should add script that load the json to every database out there in different languages such as: node, ruby, php, java, etc..

I think this is a very good idea 👍

I've added node.js support to mysql.
let me know if one of you guys need a mongodb support.

I don't really agree with this.
Writing a once-off script for an import seems to be against the idea of the project.

How are you meant to get updates if you imported into another database?
Even if you still want to import them, why pollute the clean solution with language and database specific code?

Right now, everything is technology agnostic.

If you want a solution for NodeJS, write a module that imports the JSON and presents it as an array to the consumer that requires it.

I agree with @tonytamps. The idea of a project is to provide the data. Those who needs to process, will find a way to do it.

That's right, it is even easier now since this project is available as an npm module [1].
