SQL Data Generator replaces the hours of manually populating databases with a one-click solution: Select the database and SQL Data Generator populates it with realistic test data by automatically assigning an appropriate generator based on column names. Test data can also be easily customized.
In addition to developing new applications, SQL Data Generator makes it easy to test database capacity and determine future server requirements, and to demonstrate products to clients without revealing sensitive data.
But it is not just about speed. It is also about quality data. SQL Data Generator intelligently creates realistic test data by automatically taking the table and column names into account, along with field length and any existing constraints.
Privacy legislation prohibits the sharing of live sensitive data. So if you want to demo your database to a client or develop your production database, SQL Data Generator can quickly replace the live data with realistic test data so that people will probably not even notice you've made the switch.
Whether you want to future-proof your database by populating it with large quantities of additional data and testing to see if it scales or breaks, or you simply need some starter data to highlight potential improvements to your new schema, SQL Data Generator will automate the tedious, allowing you much more time to run lots of creative tests.
Data can be pulled in from existing data sources and if you really want to show off to your boss or clients the data can be easily customized.
