The data module might be useful. Not sure if it's better/worse in your situation.<div><a href="http://drupal.org/project/data">http://drupal.org/project/data</a></div><div><br clear="all">--Kyle Mathews<br><br><a href="http://kyle.mathews2000.com/blog">kyle.mathews2000.com/blog</a><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm building a module that has a lot of supporting data (it's a custom shipping module that maps postcodes/zips to regions etc.) and know that I can create the table using hook_schema() and could use hook_install() to add rows of data to the schema, but I'm talking tens of thousands of rows, so wondering if there is a better method for doing this?<br>
<br>
