How to make test data from large sets of data?
How have you guys made test data from large sets of data? I am looking
at about 30 files, some with many millions of records in them. Is it
an easy process, in your experience?
Hi Booth
In my experience, yes ;) -

If I'm wanting a subset I nominate a file(s) that will hold key
records to drive the rest of the data extraction. The package lets you
define how files are joined, and it figures out how to populate the
remaining files based on what it finds in the driver file(s). This is
built into a script that can be fine tuned before running.
