Re: How to make test data from large sets of data?

It depends, whether or not those files have a field representinga date (any
data type) in them.

If there is, you could select from a certain date.
Depending files could be checked, if the reference key exists in the base
file for the copying..

Small files (less than a certain number of records, set your own limit) I
would copy in full.

With regards,
Carel Teijgeler

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?
