Is there software that can generate database data for me? I want to conduct some test on database performance and I just want to have different types of data. I would like to have some form where I can enter type and quantity and let software generate random values.

VS2010 provides a feature to do this - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd193262%28v=vs.100%29.aspx[^].

There seem to be some tools available to do this as well -
