Random fill method

There are settings for this fill method:

  • "From" is minimum value that will be generated for numeric (integer, float, etc) or date/time column.
  • "to" is maximum value that will be generated for numeric or date/time column.
  • "Length from" and "to" define length range for string values.
  • Format defines the view of value. This option is applicable for numeric values only.
  • "Decimal places" defines number of decimal digits after dot in the values. This option is applicable for numeric non-integer values only. For example, 2 for this option will produce values like 1.23, 55.70, 2.43, etc.

For the "char" and "varchar" columns the user can specify extra settings: special characters usage or Unicode blocks (for Enterprise version only).
