# SQL Seed Data Generator — Postgres, MySQL, SQLite & SQL Server

> Generate CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements with realistic seed data for four SQL dialects.

A SQL seed data generator produces CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements filled with realistic values. Choose a table shape, a row count and a dialect — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite or SQL Server — and column types, identifier quoting and boolean handling are all adjusted to match that dialect.

## How to use

1. Choose the table.
2. Choose the sql dialect.
3. Set the rows.
4. Set the rows per insert.
5. Choose the locale.
6. Enter or paste your table name.
7. Enter or paste your seed.
8. Turn "Include CREATE TABLE" on or off as needed.
9. Turn "Add DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" on or off as needed.
10. Turn "Wrap in a transaction" on or off as needed.
11. The result appears immediately — copy or download it.

## FAQ

### How are column types chosen?

They are inferred from the generated values. Whole numbers become INTEGER, decimals become NUMERIC or DECIMAL, ISO timestamps become TIMESTAMPTZ or DATETIME2, and strings become VARCHAR sized to fit or TEXT when long.

### Why batch the inserts?

A single multi-value INSERT is dramatically faster to load than one statement per row, because the database parses and commits once instead of thousands of times. For seeding a few thousand rows the difference is seconds versus minutes.
