Zip Codes
I have a database with addresses for all of our vendors. I need to bring in or populate the 4 digits after the zip code that are not normally used. I am having trouble figuring out how to accomplish ...

Those extra four digits are for courier routes related to specific streets (or large buildings) and the side of the street (or floor of a large building). Just to be clear, each 5-digit zip has many 4-digit extensions, so the extension has to be determined based on the rest of the address.
You'll probably want to use some sort of service like an API to look up the extension. Here's one resource I found via Google that might help: https://www.smarty.com/articles/zip-4-code
