Partly as a way of learning ruby/db interaction, and partly because it's
an app I've felt the need for, I'm thinking of writing a random database
generator (i.e. something that'll read in a schema, and populate it with
random records). Basically, a low-powered version of
http://www.gsapps.com/products/datagenerator/ - it should make
intelligent guesses about columns like Name, and at the very least have
predefined lists of items like names, address components, colours etc.
that the user can annotate a field with and have it filled in from the
list. Any pointers on the libraries I should be looking at?
