This is a WIP

About

Generate fake but valid data filled databases for test purposes using most popular patterns(AFAIK). Current support is sqlite, mysql, postgresql, mongodb.

Installation

The installation through pypi also retrieves 'requirements'. Which are : fake-factory, pymongo, psycopg2

pip install fake2db

non-PYPI included REQUIREMENT

For psycopg2 to install you need pg_config in your system.

On Mac, the solution is to install postgresql:

brew install postgresql

On CentOS, the solution is to install postgresql-devel:

sudo yum install postgresql-devel

Optional - if you are going to use mysql

mysql connector is needed for mysql db generation:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/

Usage

It is as follows, at this point in time, fake2db accepts rows and db argument. --rows argument is pretty clear... --db argument takes 4 possible options : sqlite, mysql, postgresql, mongodb --name argument is OPTIONAL. When it is absent fake2db will name db's randomly.

fake2db --rows 200 --db sqlite
