How to create or generate sample / test data (mass data for tables) ?

FireFighterAug 2 2007 — edited Aug 2 2007
Hello,

I'm playing around a little with some SQL-functions, but actually I have only a small number of rows in my sample table and I would like to have "big, filled tables". :-)

Is there an easy way to generate mass data for tables, e.g. for testing the performance of SQL-statements when a table is full of data.

For example:
How can I generate lets say 50.000 or 100.000 rows into a table with two columns? Is there a ready-to-use command to generate this mass of data?

How do you create random data for testing?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Best regards
FireFighter
