Adding Data to New Columns

• 
  Hi,
  
  Unfortunately, SQL Data Generator, due to its' design, can only blast data into a whole table. You cannot select or deselect individual columns to populate.

  Well that's a serious limitation of your product. I'm going to have to look for another solution.

  The workaround to this kind of problem is to restore a temporary copy of your database and use this as the source data for all the columns you want to keep the current data in. You can then use the generators on the remaining new columns. It's obviously not an ideal solution but the end result is the same.
  There's an article that covers these ideas here
