Creating Test Data in Python via Faker

Brendan Tierney generates some artificial data:

A some point everyone needs some test data for their database. There area a number of ways of doing this, and in this post I’ll walk through using the Python library Faker to create some dummy test data (that kind of looks real) in my Oracle Database. I’ll have another post using the GenAI in-database feature available in the Oracle Autonomous Database. So keep an eye out for that.

Brendan generates some demo customer data, including an example of credit rating that allows for assignment of probability for each class.
