dbForge Data Generator for Oracle is a GUI-based database tool developed by Devart that automatically populates Oracle schemas with large volumes of realistic, meaningful test data. It eliminates the need for manual data entry and helps developers, testers, and DBAs stress-test applications safely without exposing sensitive real-world customer details.
The tool is available both as a standalone application and as an integrated feature within the Enterprise Edition of dbForge Studio for Oracle. Core Features
Intelligent Schema Analysis: The tool reads your existing Oracle database structure and automatically matches columns with the most logical data generator based on data type, column name, and constraints.
200+ Predefined Generators: Features an extensive collection of over 200 customizable generators for diverse data types, including random numbers, names, addresses, credit cards, and lorem ipsum text.
Referential Integrity Enforcement: It handles multi-column foreign key constraints and preserves parent-child table relationships so that generated records remain structurally valid.
Inter-Column Dependencies: Users can configure logical mathematical or text offsets. For example, you can set a rule that a shipping date must always fall exactly 1 to 10 days after an order date.
Real-Time Preview: Displays the first 50 rows of data in a visual grid before committing anything to the database, ensuring you can verify quality beforehand. Advanced Options
Custom Rules & Templates: Users can override the automated suggestions, modify regular expressions, or build entirely custom templates tailored to proprietary domain logic.
Flexible Row Distribution: Offers distinct generation modes. Data can be apportioned by a set length of time or mapped out proportionally based on a linked lookup table.
Automation via CLI: Database tasks can be integrated directly into DevOps deployment workflows by scheduling and executing the generation engine through the command line.
Script Review Options: By default, the tool outputs directly to the targeted server, but users can choose to export the data population script directly to a file to run at a later time. Basic Project Setup Steps Generate Large Datasets of Oracle Test Data – Devart
