create custom test databases that are populated with fake data

Overview

Screenshot


Latest Version Status

About

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

Installation

The installation through pypi retrieves 'fake-factory' as a main dependency.

pip install fake2db

Optional requirements

PostgreSQL
pip install psycopg2

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

Mongodb

pip install pymongo

Redis

pip install redis

MySQL

mysql connector is needed for mysql db generation:

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

CouchDB

pip install couchdb

Usage

--rows argument is pretty clear :) integer

--db argument takes 6 possible options : sqlite, mysql, postgresql, mongodb, redis, couchdb

--name argument is OPTIONAL. When it is absent fake2db will name db's randomly.

--host argument is OPTIONAL. Hostname to use for database connection. Not used for sqlite.

--port argument is OPTIONAL. Port to use for database connection. Not used for sqlite.

--username argument is OPTIONAL. Username for the database user.

--password argument is OPTIONAL. Password for database user. Only supported for mysql & postgresql.

--locale argument is OPTIONAL. The localization of data to be generated ('en_US' as default).

--seed argument is OPTIONAL. Integer for seeding random generator to produce the same data set between runs. Note: uuid4 values still generated randomly.

fake2db --rows 200 --db sqlite

fake2db --rows 1500 --db postgresql --name test_database_postgre

fake2db --db postgresql --rows 2500 --host container.local --password password --user docker

fake2db --rows 200 --db sqlite --locale cs_CZ --seed 1337

In addition to the databases supported in the db argument, you can also run fake2db with FoundationDB SQL Layer. Once SQL Layer is installed, simply use the postgresql generator and specify the SQL Layer port. For example:

fake2db --rows --db postgresql --port 15432

Custom Database Generation

If you want to create a custom db/table, you have to provide --custom parameter followed by the column item you want. At the point in time, i mapped all the possible column items you can use here:

https://github.com/emirozer/fake2db/blob/master/fake2db/custom.py

Feed any keys you want to the custom flag:

fake2db.py --rows 250 --db mysql --username mysql --password somepassword --custom name date country

fake2db.py --rows 1500 --db mysql --password randompassword --custom currency_code credit_card_full credit_card_provider

fake2db.py --rows 20 --db mongodb --custom name date country

Sample output - SQLite

  • Error when running cli

    Error when running cli

    I tried with and without a virtualenv for dependency isolation, using the following command:

    fake2db --db postgresql --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5632 --password password --username user --rows 10 --name mydb

    Which gave me:

    File "/usr/local/bin/fake2db", line 7, in <module>
        from fake2db.fake2db import main
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/fake2db/fake2db.py", line 6, in <module>
        from custom import faker_options_container
    ImportError: No module named 'custom'
    

    But the custom.py file exists, it's just not finding it. Installed using pip 9.0.1 and python 2.7.10.

    sudo seems to work to bypass the error. Not sure why it needs it, but this is probably unrelated to the specific package, so I'll close this.

  • Allow faster data loading.

    Allow faster data loading.

    I would like to create a table with a million rows or more to stress test a service I am evaluating.

    Using a server hosted by aws (rds mysql 5.6), I'm currently using no cpu on my macbook so it is definitely network bound.

    I'm able to load about 3000 rows per 5 minutes. This speed is really slow when you would like to generate a very large table (e.g. many millions of rows)

    Some possible suggestions:

    1. bulk insert
    2. save to a csv, and then call a sql command to load from csv
    3. create a pool of connections and insert through each connection

    Removed duplicity of dependency packages listing

    This is a good technique to avoid typing the same packages names and versions in different places (setup.py and requirements files). Also it gives the ability to test different versions in development keeping the setup.py functional.

    Clean the database initialize process, and fix the bug that --name is…

    When I use the following command:

    fake2db --db sqlite --name test.db --rows 100
    

    Instead of using test.db as the database file name, fake2db use a generated filename such as sqlite_JZMYNRKM.db.

    I hope I had fixed the problem, but it is not full tested for other engine(postgresql, mysql, ...).

    Thanks a lot.

  • Allow multiple columns with same faker key OR allow column naming

    Allow multiple columns with same faker key OR allow column naming

    I found myself needing to do the following to replicate a table structure:

    fake2db --rows 1500 --db mysql --name=test_speed --username root --password secret --custom date_time_this_year random_digit_not_null random_digit_not_null uuid4 word boolean boolean boolean random_number random_number word last_name word word word word last_name year
    

    Then I found out that I couldn't use duplicate faker keys for my columns, so using random_digit_not_null twice is not possible.

    I wrote some code in the mysql handler to append keys to the columns in order to allow duplicates (see this commit https://github.com/denitsa-cm/fake2db/commit/73df91998d6c3929e90d5c211f61b765c560510d)

    I do think the mysql_handler is probably not the best place for this -> the unique columns should somehow be formatted further up and passed to all handlers. But it's the first time I'm touching python so I just hacked it a bit for my purposes.

    Then the command above would result in a table structure like this:

    image

    Would be nice if something like this was supported out of the box for all database engines. Or perhaps even better, the option to name the columns in addition to providing the faker keys. This would alleviate the issue altogether.

    We'd be happy to make adjustments in a PR if you want to outline the easiest / best way to do so. Thanks :)
