DataSmith

Ever been frustrated with having only limited data to test your applications? Wished there was a tool that could quickly generate sample data for your database minimal hassle? Me too. So I built DataSmith.

DataSmith is a user-friendly evolution of my previous project, DataForge, designed to make database population fast and simple.

I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions!

Features

• Populate your databases easily with extremely customizable sample data
• Supports MYSQL, POSTGRESQL, MSSQL, ORACLE, MARIADB, FIREBIRD

• Specify data generation by CONSTANT, NULL, LIBRARY, REGEX, PYTHON and more...
