Zip Codes in Tessitura

Former Member
Former Member $organization

Good morning to you! J

One of my data specialists gave me a list of zip codes that do not show up in Tessitura. Who would we forward this to?

I did confirm these zip codes on http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp

72631        Eureka Springs, AK

95757       Elk Grove, CA

92867       Orange, CA

95377       Tracy, CA

59602      Helena, MT

30297      Forest Park, GA

89044      Henderson, NV

95811        Sacramento, CA

  • The table where you would add those is TR_CITYSTATE.  Due to the size of this table you cannot access it from the System Tables screen.  Updates to this table must be made from SQL Server.

     

    New zip codes must be manually added to the table; they are not automatically added as they are used in the application.  Existing entries may be edited if desired. The following columns in this table are required: zip5 (5 digit zip code), city, and state (postal abbreviation).

    Thank you Kevin! Al doesn't let me play around in the SQL Server so I will email him the information and ask him to add them for me!

    I appreciate you help! Will you be in San Antonio?

  • Absolutely.  I hope to see you there!

    Kevin,

    Is there any additional documentation on TR_CITYSTATE?  The Constituent_Records_Basic_Features document only mentions the three columns you mentioned (zip5, city and state).  Before I start mucking about in the table, I'd like to know what the other columns are used for (I can assume, but....)

    Thanks.

  • Hi Steve,

     

    There is not.  But you could open a help ticket to ask any questions you may have.

  • Hi Kevin,

    I know I'm replying to a super old post, but I'm having the same problem and it seems the table is not called TR_Citystate anymore.  I'm on version 10.  Can you tell me what it is called now?

    Thanks,

    Kanani

  • Hi Kanani,

    The table name has not changed, but it is not accessible from within the Tessitura application (i.e. the System Tables screen).  You will need to have someone with database access update the table on the back end using SQL Server Management Studio.

  • Hi Kevin,

    We just updated the table in SQL Server Management Studio and it hasn’t updated in Tessitura yet.  Is there something that needs to be run for it to update, or does it just take time?  Or should it have been instant and we just didn’t do it correctly?  Here’s the query that we used to update the table:

    INSERT INTO dbo.TR_CITYSTATE (zip5, city, state, usps_code) VALUES (‘98311’, ‘Bremerton’,’WA’,’Bremerton’)

     

    Thanks for your help!

    We truncate and reload TR_CITYSTATE monthly, and in my experience updates do not take time. New Zips should work immediately. I think you may need to populate more columns than that, though.

    I'm not sure what you're missing that the client wants, but when we do a reload, we populate all of the columns below:

    (zip5, city, state, country, area_code, usps_code, time_zone, geo_area, inactive, default_ind)

  • I think you may be missing the country in you insert. For us we have zip5, city, state, country, uspscode populated. We have some geo_area, but most of it is null. You can get the country id (int) from TR_Country. Time_zone is null for us. But the other fields all have default constraints that populates them.

  • Hi Kanani,

     

    If all the advice from the others doesn’t help, I suggest opening a help ticket.  I also want to clarify, just in case, that making additions to the table will not affect existing addresses.  The new entries will only be used when adding a new address.
