I'm trying to use the faker package to generate data to load in a sample
postgres database so I can learn how to use tksheet and psycopg2.
The 8.8.1 documentation shows output on a root shell prompt (#), not a
python prompt (>>>). It also has a description of using faker from 'the
command line', which I assume is the python shell, and I can't get it to
work. I suppose that I can generate one name, address, etc. at a time and
them copy and concatenate them into table data, but I thought that the
faker
package would do this all for me.
Is there a tool that will let me generate the equivalent of a database row
worth of data? That is, a set of strings of different types that can
then be
inserted into the testing database?
I would try using the 'given' function/decorator of hypothesis (on pypi)
to generate random data that conforms to whatever specification.
