Hello All,

I am new to web application development, so sorry in advance if this question is too basic.

The following are the details of the question:

A] Platform being used -- google app engine with python, django.

B] Tutorial link being used -- http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/djangoforms.html

C] Question: In the application i am building, there is a drop down box which allows the user to select their country. Since the list of countries is above 200, i want to construct a database of the countries before the application loads.

Once this application is deployed, i dont want the database to get re-loaded again, since the entries are constant for all the users. How does one achieve this ?

thanks, Lance.
