I would like to receive suggestions on the data generators that are available, for SQL server. If posting a response, please provide any features that you think are important.

I have never used a application like this, so I am looking to be educated on the topic. Thank you.

(My goal is to fill a database with 10,000+ records in each table, to test an application.)

I have used the data generator in the past. May be worth a look.

If you do not register you can only generate 100 rows. Below you can find a sample how the interface looks today (october 2016)
