Product profile

DTM Data Generator is a simple, powerful and fully customizable tool that generates data for database testing purposes.
The project is a set of generation rules. There are four principle generation rules: data rows generation (one rule correspond with one table), tables generation, objects generation and text file generation.

  • In the first case each rule inserts (or updates) the specified number of records into one table.
  • In the second case you can create any number of tables with the same structure and with the names according to the template; you can also insert the data into the tables.
  • In the third case you can create any number of database objects (views, procedures, etc) with the same SQL text and with the names according to the template.
  • Text file rule allows you to create test data without active database connection.
  • Also, Clear Rule helps you to remove required data from your database before generator execution.

There is a picture of local menu accessed by the right click inside the rules list. See the picture below:

Using this menu you can to:

  • disable or enable the selected rule. Program skips disabled rules during project execution;
  • run one rule currently selected;
  • open editor dialog box for the current rule;
  • make a copy of the selected rule;
  • remove the selected rule;
  • move the selected rule up or down in the project.
Note: '*' in the window title means the current project is not saved. See also: Product versions.
