A Python CLI tool that generates test databases populated with realistic fake data, supporting sqlite, mysql, postgresql, mongodb, redis, and couchdb. It supports custom schemas, locales, and seeding for reproducible datasets.

Use cases

• generate a test database filled with fake data
• populate sqlite with dummy rows for testing
• create fake data in postgresql for development
• seed a mongodb collection with random test records
• generate reproducible fake datasets with a fixed seed
• create custom-schema test tables with fake columns

When to choose

• you need realistic fake data in an actual database engine for testing
• you want a quick CLI to spin up populated test databases
• you need locale-specific or seeded fake data

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained tooling (last release 2019)
• you only need in-memory fake objects rather than a database
• you need GPL-2.0-incompatible licensing in your project
