It is used as supporting material for the teaching examples in this repository and helps produce realistic multilingual seed data for the sports-events domain.

The commands below assume you are running them from inside the PeopleDataGenerator folder.

What It Does

generates fake participant data with locale-specific names and transliterations
asks whether the target should be PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server
writes SQL insert statements to the matching init folder

By default, the people generator writes to:

docker-definitions\postgres-eventsdb\init\06-people.sql
docker-definitions\mssql-eventsdb\init\06-people.sql

Prerequisites

.NET SDK 10.0

Running

dotnet run --project PeopleDataGenerator.csproj

You can also pass the target as the first argument:

dotnet run --project PeopleDataGenerator.csproj -- postgres
dotnet run --project PeopleDataGenerator.csproj -- mssql

The tool asks for the target database when no argument is provided, then asks for the output path. Press Enter to accept the default path derived from the PeopleDataGenerator folder.
