		Hiya, 
 
I am currently testing my new schema design. I would like to know there are tools that help to fill test data into tables automatically. Ideally filling a huge amount of data automatically for performance testing. It would be appreciated if there were any suggestions. 
 
Cheers

		Hi there, 
 
Thanks for your reply. That's really helpful. However, have you got any idea for any tools that is designed for filling the whole database, I mean not just one table, but also the tables it references. 
 
Thanks again

		No I don't know any such tool and I don't think it exists as filling tables with their relations is too closed of application that a general tool can't exist or is not profitable.
