Hi,
In order to generate some useful test data
eg randomnly setting the flag select_normal to 0 or 1 use the following
update tbl_products set select_normal=round(rand());
I've actually answered my own question (as usual in formulating the question
you often can workout
the answer)
But anyone
: Creating random data in a test table based on an existing
table
How about somethine like this as a starting point:
insert into testuser (firstname,lastname) select
u1.firstname,u2.lastname from user u1, user u2 order by rand() limit
1;
MvH,

Subject: Re: Creating random data in a test table
about 1500 records. I would like to create a test
table (i.e. users_test) with 10,000 records based on random data from the
first table (i.e. random first name combined with a random last name,
etc...). Is it possible to do this via a MySQL query?

I have an users table for a php application that I am programming. The
current users table has about 1500 records. I would like to create a test
table (i.e. users_test) with 10,000 records based on random data from the
first table (i.e. random first name combined with a random last name,
etc
