Database Data Generator
Presented by: Christopher Jestice
Project Specifications
 The goal of this project is to create a program that quickly and efficiently
generates large amount of data for use in testing and debugging a database.
 The data should be unique when uniqueness is a constraint of the database
 Program should be robust and support more than one RDBMS specification
 While the program is platform specific the platforms the data is built for
should not.
 Object oriented techniques should be utilized.
 User interface should be designed for a programmer with powerful features
but minimize amount of interaction required
Project Specifications
Development Tools
 Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
 Chosen for ease of development.
 Intellisense
 Integrated database tools
 Oracle 10g
 One of the major DBMS available
 Oracle complexity outweighs that of other DBMS
 Microsoft SQL Server
 Major DBMS
 Integrates well with Microsoft products
 Fulfills spectrum of Microsoft vs. Open-Source operating systems
