How It Works



DataRoller is a Java application that will insert piles of good looking data into your favorite databases so you can move in and be happy.


HINT: The first section of the User Guide is a one-page intro showing:

  1. a real DataRoller script file,
  2. a database table,
  3. the command-line to run it, and
  4. the "SELECT *" it produces.
