Randommite

With ease, Randommite can output records in a variety of modern and legacy formats: XML, SQL, Fixed, HTML, CSV, Grids, Variable, and Custom user-defined formats. Out of the box, Randommite supplies the following field types for building output records:

• Numbers (defined range of integer, decimal, hexadecimal, octal, or binary)
• Statistical (supply a mean and standard deviation)
• Alphanumeric (names, addresses, dates, text, characters, and more)
• Sequences (define a start and incremental value)
• Literals (static text where you need it)
• Built-In Value Lists (50+ data lists and growing)
• Custom Value Lists (ultimate versatility, define reusable lists containing thousands of values)
