1. Database Data Generator Presented by: Christopher Jestice

2. Project Specifications  The goal of this project is to create a program that quickly and efficiently generates large amount of data for use in testing and debugging a database.  The data should be unique when uniqueness is a constraint of the database  Program should be robust and support more than one RDBMS specification  While the program is platform specific the platforms the data is built for should not.  Object oriented techniques should be utilized.  User interface should be designed for a programmer with powerful features but minimize amount of interaction required

3. Project Specifications

4. Development Tools  Microsoft Visual Studio 2010  Chosen for ease of development.  Intellisense  Integrated database tools  Oracle 10g  One of the major DBMS available  Oracle complexity outweighs that of other DBMS  Microsoft SQL Server  Major DBMS  Integrates well with Microsoft products  Fulfills spectrum of Microsoft vs. Open-Source operating systems

5. Platform  Windows 7 x64 (my Computer)  Solaris 5.8 (Helios)  Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (my other computer)

6. Devices  HP Pavilion DV6000  Used for low end computing test  Development Machine/ Power User  AMD Athlon 2 x4 640  MSI 870A-G54 Motherboard  4GB DDR3 1600 Memory  Microsoft Based Server  2 AMD Opteron 2210 Dual Core Server Processors (socket 1207F)  ASUS KFN5-D SLI Motherboard  4 GB DDR2 667 ECC Registered Server Memory  UNIX Based Server  Helios  Utilizing the database developed by winter 2011 CMPS 440 class for testing

7. Milestones  Investigate Methods for AI development(week 2)  Revise initial design (week 3)  Develop functions to generate specific types of data: (week 4)  Date, currency, timestamp, names, imbalanced types (like gender)  Make DBMS specific protocols (week 6)  Include connection, retrieval, and insertion  Implement Website specific web crawler (week 7)  Design AI protocols (week 9)  Must correlate desired types with minimal errors  Design User Interface (week 9)  Incorporate standard interface functions with symmetrical design layout considerations  Complete final documentation and fine-tuning (week 10)

8. Important Features  Use of threading  Automatic file generation  Cross DBMS functionality  AI for string comparison
