Test data generation¶
There is a way of test data generation for the table in the form of the Insert construction:
Open the new object creation wizard: File -> New -> Others, select the pgCodeKeeper -> Generate test data category and click Next.
For each column, depending on type and generator, the following settings are available:
- Column name - the name of current column.
- Column type - data type of the column. For unsupported types there is the OTHER type.
- Generator - data generation algorithm. Currently there are 4 of them:
| RANDOM: | A random value from the range. |
|---|---|
| INCREMENT: | Consistent increasing of the inital value by the increment value. |
| CONSTANT: | A constant value. Text values will be enclosed in single quotes. |
| ANY: | Any value (including function calls). The value will not be formatted. |
- Range start - initial value
- Range end - final value
- Increment step - increment step value
- Undefined value - unidentified value which will be written without formatting.
To manage the column list, the following buttons are available:
- Add column adds an INTEGER type column with the RANDOM generator.
- Delete column deletes the selected columns.
- Up moves the selected column up in the list.
- Down moves the selected column down in the list.
- Delete optional deletes the columns without the NOT NULL property.
The Typcasting setting adds typecasting for each value (for example, 7::integer).
After clicking Finish you’ll see the SQL editor with a ready Insert query.
Note
This wizard may be launched from the table’s right-click menu as well. In this case, all the data is filled in automatically.
