Larry,
 Some time ago Mladen Gogala had posted about a tool (Move For Servers) from Princeton Softech.
 Here is the link :
http://www.princetonsoftech.com/products/moveforservers.asp  We are looking into this product as well.

 HTH,  Regards,

Listers,

I know this subject has been brought up before, and I will go through the archives as well as pull out the Google Gun, but does anyone have recommendations on a tool that will create a subset of production data that is referentially intact? I am aware of DataBee (which Mark mentioned the other day), and I'm sure I will turn up some others.

I know it can be built by hand, but it might be more cost effective to buy something if the price is right. The main feature I would be interested in is a tool that maintained the distribution characteristics of the data. For example, assume production has 20 years worth of data. For a query specifying various criteria, criteria against a date range of a month would be very selective (assuming even distribution). Now, if you throw only 2 years in the development environment, a different plan using criteria other than a month date range, maybe even a different driving table, might be better. So you now have a case where one plan is better in DEV and a different plan is better in PROD. An age old problem I'm sure lots of us have dealt with.
