Realistic Data in Real Formats

Do you need an easier way to:

• load a test database with referential integrity
• simulate and share file and report layouts
• develop and stress-test your applications
• benchmark new hardware and software
• conduct data warehouse ETL testing

using your data models and metadata, but not unsafe production data?

File and report layouts, table views, index orders, and key relationships must reflect reality to be useful in testing. Generating real file and report formats with safe values in ideal ranges -- and loading large tables -- can take a long time with other tools or programs.

Now, with the CoSort Test Data product, RowGen, you can generate multiple test files in multiple formats -- all in one job script and I/O pass -- for referentially correct test database loads, flat file structures, and custom report formats.

RowGen leverages your DDL models for Oracle, DB2 UDB, SQL Server, Sybase, Teradata, and packaged apps so you can create realistic tables with referential integrity to test-populate an entire enterprise data warehouse.

RowGen's target files can be in these formats:

• Record, line or variable sequential
• CSV
• LDIF
• XML
• COBOL index
• Mainframe blocked

RowGen generates test data in more than 100 field types, custom record and report layouts. RowGen's complex tansformations, set file support, and conditional selection all contribute to data realism and privacy.
