Newbie question

Hi

Love your products! Have a question about generating data
I have 3 fields in a table I wish to populate with data

FK to another table --> will use the fk generator generating the value 1 - 20 times (there are at least 5000 rows in the referenced table)
YEAR --> value must be between 0 and 9
AMT

There is a unique contraint on the the combination of the FK and the YEAR fields. I want to generate 5000 rows. When I use the int generator and give it the values between 0 and 9, I will only end up with 10? rows in my table. Is there a way to get Data Generator to generate this?


The results should look similar to :
    BI_ID YR AMT
    10082 0 220
    10083 0 700
    10084 0 555

      I've had a little play around with this and sort of got it to work - for my FK column it's set to repeat the values between 1 and 10 times (I have 5000 rows in the related table, and I'm wanting to generate 1000 rows for the table in question).
      For the YR column it's set to INT, min value of 0, max of 9, and "Set Unique" OFF. The Distribution is "Sequential".

      This generates 1000 rows with each BI_ID repeated while the YR goes up 0 > 9, then it moves on to the next BI_ID value and so on.

      I wasn't sure you could get it to do it more randomly, but as a quick test, I changed the FK option to repeat key values at random, and it still seemed to generate 1000 rows OK.

      If you're still having trouble, perhaps you could post (or mail to support with F006889 in the subject line) a create script for the table (along with the related ones) and I can look into it a little more.
