Creating Custom Generators

dbForge Studio for MySQL allows you to create, save, and use your own custom data generators that would better meet your needs, instead of customizing the predefined generators over and over again. You can add one or more custom generators to the existing categories: Business, Health, Location, IT, Payment, Personal, and Product.

The following example on how to add a custom generator is based on the Regular Expression Generator, which is most frequently customized.

To add a new generator:

1. Open the Data Generators folder in C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Devart\dbForge Data Generator for MySQL.

2. In this folder, create an .xml file or copy and paste one of the existing files.

4. Save the .xml file.
