| Description |
A zip file containing a comma separated text file with 276 of the best known composers along with their birth and death years. The zip file also contains a PHP file with a table definition and inserts for the composers. The reason that a script is used instead of an SQL dump is the format of the data. The text file contains special characters in the composers first and last names which need to be inserted into the database in utf8 format. The date fields are text because a number of the dates are approximate and are marked with 'c' in front of the date.
The death dates are accurate up to June of 2008. If any of the composers that were still living have passed since then, they will not have a year for in the death field.
