Generating random user data part 2
February 15, 2007
Based on some feedback, I’ve enhanced the random user data tool. As I wrote earlier, the tool generates data suitable for using as test data in your applications which may need basic user accounts. The accounts can include things like first name, last name, address, city, state, zip code, phone numbers, social security numbers, and some new fields from the first round of feedback.
It now has an extra few fields for generating birthday, hiredate and email data. And the tool will now also generate the SQL for you. The SQL contains both the CREATE TABLE statement, as well as all the insert statements for your random test data. I only tested it in MySQL (it worked) but the data is pretty straightforward, and I don’t anticipate any problems using it (or doing a quick edit on the CREATE TABLE syntax if it’s wrong).
If you find an issue with the tool, please let me know.
