This is a command-line tool that helps developers generate fake SQL data for testing databases. Instead of writing custom scripts or using online tools, you write a small file in Datasea's own simple language, run the command, and it produces SQL INSERT statements filled with realistic-looking fake values. The language is designed to be easy to read and write. A typical Datasea file defines a table name, the number of rows to generate, and a list of columns, each with a rule for what value to put in it. You can use built-in generators for common types like first names, last names, and city names, or combine them with string formatting to produce composite values such as email addresses or usernames. The tool also supports random integers, random decimal numbers, random booleans, and incrementing IDs, all with optional range limits. Beyond random values, the language has basic programming features: you can declare variables, reuse them in multiple columns, call string methods like substring and character access, and format values with padding or decimal truncation. This makes it possible to express realistic relationships between columns. For example, you can build a username from a generated first name plus a random number without writing any separate code. Installation requires building the tool from source using CMake, which is a standard approach for C++ projects. Once built, it installs as a system command called datasea and takes a file path as input. The tool is MIT-licensed, meaning it can be used freely for any purpose including commercial projects. The README is mostly an annotated example that walks through most of the language's features in a single sample table definition. The project is small and focused, aimed at developers who need predictable but flexible control over their test data generation without reaching for a heavier tool.
