Get God into Your Database!

Lo and behold! The bible database contains two full translations of the bible (King James and Basic English), as in both Old and New Testaments as well as the Apocrypha. Verses are on one row each, with cap/book/verse columns in the table to find your way around. And if that's not enough, I've now added three translations of the Koran (or Qur'an if you prefer) in a separate Koran database.

So if you want to get God into your database, and have MySQL 4.1 or higher, then get downloading.

contents	gzip file	plain file
Bible	bible.mysql.gz 3 MB	bible.mysql.txt 11 MB
Koran	koran.mysql.gz 1.7 MB	koran.mysql.txt 5 MB

Once you've done that, you might wish to look at the Instructions to get it all working especially if you're new to MySQL. Otherwise get with the Holy SQL.

Thanks

This is awesome!, i can really do a lot with this database, instead of using curl and some dodgy code to grab a verse off another website which takes forever. Cheers heaps.

This is fantastic

Praise God for this. you have done a great job. I have been playing around with the queries and having a little fun.

Thank you for taking the time to do this.

on a further note. this would be great as a step further to put in multiple translations so you can search like in Keyword for strongs, to vines dictionary, to interlinear to NIV, KJV, NLT, NKJV etc then execute the query.

God Bless you

Ain't it cool being a servant?

If you can point me towards any copyright free texts I'd be happy to take a look - Ed.

The Good thing about this

The good thing about this is it isn't copyrighted, cause it belongs to God, and He gives it to us free.

God bless.
