{{< alert warning >}}

On Wednesday, November 27, 2024 we updated this tutorial to address an issue in
which some IPv4 and IPv6 addresses could overlap. If you used a version of this
tutorial prior to that date, please consult the updated instructions for
querying the data in the following sections below:

- [Test our table by querying it](#test-our-table-by-querying-it)
- [Order the table for faster searching](#order-the-table-for-faster-searching)
- [Break up our query for faster searching](#break-up-our-query-for-faster-searching)

{{</ alert >}}

This guide will show you how to import GeoIP2 or GeoLite2 databases into MySQL
so that they can be easily queried and manipulated on your server.

On November 27, 2024, we updated our
[tutorial on importing the CSV version of MaxMind databases to MySQL](/geoip/importing-databases/mysql/)
to address an issue in which some IPv4 and IPv6 addresses could overlap.

Our updated tutorial includes new instructions for querying the resulting MySQL
tables in order to account for this possibility.

If you used a previous version of this tutorial, it is recommended that you
consult the updated version. You can get a list of the updated sections in the
alert at the top of the updated tutorial, or you can
[view the change on Github](https://github.com/maxmind/dev-site/pull/1234/files).
