    Data sets with addresses, etc:

    Free data set generator, including names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc. Not real-world data, but probably pretty close and much easier than creating your own script...

    Demo: http://www.generatedata.com/#generator

    Download: http://www.generatedata.com/#download

    From the data generator site...

    Requirements

    MySQL 4+

    PHP 4+

    Any modern, JS-enabled browser

    Have you tried it with T-SQL?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
