Re: Test data sets

The database tables don't care if they are John Doe or John Smith....
I personally would object to any internet site who would make to assist with
making people's addresses or information available, be it for testing a
database
or a tool for yet another spammer....

On the technical side, working with a set of known data is much easier to
profile a system than with random data...
