Bogus datasets for database testing

I'm teaching myself mysql and wonder if there are any sources of
inane, complex, bogus data that I can download and insert into a
table(s.) I have created some very small sets to practice joins and
whatnot but they are not very big or complex, or exciting. A
compressed tar of text strings (no blobs) could have plenty of data
but still be a manageable download. It would also be a nice test of my
machine and tuning skills.

Anything like that out there?

Regards,

At the risk of sounding like a Big 5 consultant, "It depends". 1) Strongly typed datasets rock, they are faster than untyped, use intellisense... but your reason for wanting to use them is important. I use them every day of my life, but I also don't use them every day of my life and there are reasons for both. 2) How much of your process is dependent on reads vs.

I'm a long time VB6/ADO and Java developer new to ADO.NET. I'm trying to decide on best practices and I'd appreciate any assistance. I have one specific question and another more general architectural one: 1. How can you pass around a disconnected DataSet/DataTable, make changes to it and then pass it into a component for update? The disconnected DataSet doesn't know it's UPDATE statement and the DataAdapter is long since gone. 2....

I have had a form within a project that has been tested and working for the past 4-5 months. The other day, I decided to change all of my database connection strings into a dynamic property for a few reasons. All was OK until testing a particular form, and I got a strange error when opening it whilst running, and I got an exception stating that the dataset I was using to fill a table was not initialised.

I'm developing an VB.NET Windows Forms application that uses CR for VS.NET (original version shipped with VS.NET 2002 - my VS.NET has the latest SP installed, no SPs for CR). My reports get their data from ADO.NET Datasets that are pre-populated by other modules of the application. What I need to do is to use these datasets as the datasources of my reports. Fine, I know how to do that and it works perfectly on my development box. The...

Is there any tool that generates Typed DataTables rather than Typed Datasets? The trouble we are having is we have quite a few tables in our database and a single table can be a part of more than one dataset. If we use the XSD.Exe, the datatable definitions are repeated in every dataset they appear in; causing our data definition layer to bloat. Let us say there is a database table called Account which appears in two dataset definitions...

I have a set of typed datasets that are tied to a database on a mssql2005 server. They are naturally displayed and available in the DataSources window. Now I want to rename the database, but when I do that and reconfigure any of the datasets with the Wizard, all the datatables I have previously selected are marked as unavailable (with a red x next to it), and displays all database objects in the renamed database as "new" and unchecked. ...

Hello, I'm in a front of very serious .net redesign/rewrite of an old VB6 application.

Hi all, This post is sort of tangentially related to my earlier posts on configuration files for DLLs. Does anyone know how to create typed DataSets using VS2005's new DataSet designer, but with the ability to configure the connection string via a config file? The designer seems to hard-code the connection string into the dataset itself, which just can't be right.

I'm trying to decide if it is better to use typed datasets or business objects, so I would appreciate any thoughts from someone with more experience. When I use a business object to populate a gridview, for example, I loop through a datareader, populating an array list with instances of a custom class in the middle tier, and then send the array list up to the presentation layer and bind the gridview to it. If I use a typed dataset, I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
