  • mysql_random_data_load

    MySQL random data loader

  • If you choose a data generator instead, you can find one for MySQL in one of the repositories on our Percona Lab GitHub account. Are you using other database technologies? You can follow the guides I already published where I explain how to create your own data generator for MySQL (it could work for PostgreSQL) and MongoDB.

  • data-generator

    Data Generator (by mattdark)

  • The code shown in this blog post can be found on my GitHub account in the data-generator repository.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • SQLAlchemy

    The Database Toolkit for Python

  • SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL.

  • Pandas

    Flexible and powerful data analysis / manipulation library for Python, providing labeled data structures similar to R data.frame objects, statistical functions, and much more

  • If you need test data for the database of your project, you can get a dataset from Kaggle or use a data generator. In the first case, if you need to process the data before inserting it into the database, you can use Pandas, a widely used Python library for data analysis. This library supports different formats, including CSV and JSON, and it also provides a method for inserting data into a SQL database.
