The Gender generator populates columns with gender values, such as male and female, for testing or simulation purposes.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column whose name is ‘Gender’ or ‘sex’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The tool allows you to customize default options:

  • Load values from a file, a table or a view, or a SQL query.
  • Save values to a file.
  • Add or delete a value.
  • Clear a value list.

The generator produces the following values based on the column length:

  • M and F for column lengths ranging from 1 to 5.
  • Male and Female for column lengths of 6 or greater.
