I need a few million sample contact records - name, company, address,
email, web, phone, fax. ZIP codes and area codes and street addresses
should be correct and properly formatted, but preferably not real people
or companies or email addresses. But they'd work if you did address
validation or mapping. Anyone have a suggestion?

It should be easy to code a routine to generate random data. Maybe 20 -
30 lines of code. Obviously you may have a name like Dgidfgq Xcvbop and
company Wsdkn, but it shouldn't matter if testing is your purpose.
Actually, this DOES matter...
Test data can be required for all sorts of purposes, for example:
- running a demo of the application
- testing real life-like data entry
- trial versions that include data
- course-ware for your application when it gets implemented by a company
- decent value distribution in indices
This is why our tool, Advanced Data Generator, allows you to
generate life-like company names, has libraries for first/last names
and much more.
