How to use SQL Dataset Generator
- Define the columns with generator types.
- Enter the table name, dialect and batch size.
- Press Generate and run the script against a test database.
SQL Dataset Generator features
- CREATE TABLE with dialect-specific types inferred from the generators
- Batched multi-row INSERTs or one per row; optional transaction
- MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle (INSERT ALL) and SQLite
- Strings stay strings (phones, codes) while numbers, booleans, dates and UUIDs get typed literals
- Safe identifiers (snake_case) and primary key on the id column
- Up to 5,000 rows, seedable, with statement count and size
SQL Dataset Generator example
PostgreSQL seed
Input:
id:id
full_name:fullName
phone:phone:SA
hired_on:date · Table: employees · Dialect: PostgreSQLOutput:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS employees (
id INT NOT NULL,
full_name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
phone VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
hired_on DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
INSERT INTO employees (id, full_name, phone, hired_on) VALUES
(1, 'Freddie Mitchell', '+966545797509', '2021-05-31'),
(2, 'Aurora Taylor', '+966590325497', '2019-06-10');Frequently asked questions about SQL Dataset Generator
Which dialects are supported?
MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle (INSERT ALL) and SQLite, with dialect-specific quoting, boolean literals and date/time types.
How are column types chosen?
From the generator: integers become INT, decimals DECIMAL, booleans BOOLEAN/BIT/TINYINT(1), dates DATE, UUIDs UUID/CHAR(36) and text VARCHAR(n). Phone numbers and codes stay strings even when they look numeric.
Can I batch the INSERTs?
Yes — set rows per INSERT (SQL Server caps at 1000) or switch to one INSERT per row, and optionally wrap everything in a transaction.
How do I get NULL values in a column?
Append ? to the column name, e.g. manager_id?:int:1-20 or notes?:sentence. About 15% of that column's rows are then emitted as NULL, and the CREATE TABLE declares it nullable while every other column gets NOT NULL. A column named id is also declared as the PRIMARY KEY.
