+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
103
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104
+ the Derivative Works; and
105
+
106
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its

+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor

164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174

35
+
36
+ Synthetic relational data generation for pipeline, staging, and service testing.
37
+
38
+ - PyPI package: `loadforge`
39
+ - CLI command: `datagen`
40
+ - Python module: `datagen`
41
+
42
+ `loadforge` turns SQL DDL or a live database schema into fake but structured data that is useful for load tests, end-to-end pipeline checks, local development, and staging environment seeding.
43
+
44
+ It parses tables and foreign keys, generates rows in parent-before-child order, applies type-aware defaults plus optional distributions, validates the generated data, and writes it out as SQL, JSON, CSV, or Parquet. It can also insert directly into a database through SQLAlchemy.
45
+
46
+ ---
47
+
48
+ ## Why use it
49
+
50
+ Use `loadforge` when you need to:
51
+
52
+ - stress a pipeline or service with large synthetic datasets
53
+ - generate relational fixtures from existing DDL
54
+ - seed staging or local environments while preserving FK order
55
+ - inspect a live schema and generate data without hand-writing metadata
56
+ - export the same dataset shape in SQL, JSON, CSV, or Parquet
57
+ - produce validation reports before loading data elsewhere
58
+
59
+ ---
60
+
61
+ ## Core capabilities
62
+
63
+ - Input sources:
64
+ - SQL DDL via `--ddl`
65
+ - live schema introspection via `--schema-from-db --db-url ...`
66
+ - Relationship-aware generation:
67
+ - foreign-key dependency graph
68
+ - parent tables generated before child tables
69
+ - FK-only tables can use the Polars generation path
70
+ - Output formats:
71
+ - PostgreSQL `INSERT`
72
+ - MySQL `INSERT`
73
+ - SQLite `INSERT`
74
+ - BigQuery `INSERT` and `INSERT ALL`
75
+ - JSON
76
+ - CSV
77
+ - Parquet
78
+ - Validation and reporting:
79
+ - FK integrity checks
80
+ - non-null checks
81
+ - unique collision checks
82
+ - optional CHECK validation with `--strict-checks`
83
+ - JSON report output via `--report-path`
84
+ - Generation controls:
85
+ - per-table row overrides with `--table-rows`
86
+ - reproducible runs with `--seed`
87
+ - config-file driven runs with JSON, TOML, or YAML
88
+ - per-column and per-table distribution overrides with `--dist`
89
+
90

91
+
92
+ ## Install
93
+
94
+ Recommended for CLI use:
95
+
96
+ ```bash
97
+ pipx install loadforge
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ Or install with `pip`:
101
+
102
+ ```bash
103
+ pip install loadforge
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ Optional Polars support:
107
+
108
+ ```bash
109
+ pip install "loadforge[polars]"
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ From source:
113
+
114
+ ```bash
115
+ git clone https://github.com/hyangminj/datagen.git
116
+ cd datagen
117
+ python3 -m venv .venv
118
+ . .venv/bin/activate
119
+ pip install -e .
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ Optional Polars support from source:
123
+
124
+ ```bash
125
+ pip install -e ".[polars]"
126
+ ```
127
+
128
+ Sanity check:
129
+
130
+ ```bash
131
+ datagen --help
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ GitHub Releases also include wheel (`.whl`) and source (`.tar.gz`) artifacts.
135
+
136
+ ---
137
+
138
+ ## Quick start
139
+
140
+ Minimal schema:
141
+
142
+ ```sql
143
+ CREATE TABLE users (
144
+ id INT PRIMARY KEY,
145
+ email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
146
+ age INT,
147
+ tier VARCHAR(10)
148
+ );
149
+
150
+ CREATE TABLE orders (
151
+ id INT PRIMARY KEY,
152
+ user_id INT NOT NULL,
153
+ amount NUMERIC,
154
+ FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id)
155
+ );
156
+ ```
157
+
158
+ Generate JSON:
159
+
160
+ ```bash
161
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --out json --output-path data.json
162
+ ```
163
+
164
+ Generate PostgreSQL inserts:
165
+
166
+ ```bash
167
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --out postgres --output-path seed.sql
168
+ ```
169
+
170
+ Generate CSV files, one per table:
171
+
172
+ ```bash
173
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --out csv --output-path ./csv_out
174
+ ```
175
+
176
+ With this schema, `users` is generated first and `orders.user_id` is filled from generated `users.id` values.
177
+
178
+ ---
179
+
180
+ ## Common workflows
181
+
182
+ ### Generate SQL for different targets
183
+
184
+ ```bash
185
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --out postgres
186
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --out mysql
187
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --out sqlite
188
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --out bigquery
189
+ ```
190
+
191
+ ### Read schema directly from a database
192
+
193
+ ```bash
194
+ datagen \
195
+ --schema-from-db \
196
+ --db-url postgresql+psycopg://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb \
197
+ --rows 100 \
198
+ --out postgres
199
+ ```
200
+
201
+ Limit DB introspection to selected tables:
202
+
203
+ ```bash
204
+ datagen \
205
+ --schema-from-db \
206
+ --db-url postgresql+psycopg://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb \
207
+ --tables users,orders,events \
208
+ --rows 100 \
209
+ --out json
210
+ ```
211
+
212
+ ### Insert generated rows directly into a database
213
+
214
+ ```bash
215
+ datagen \
216
+ --ddl schema.sql \
217
+ --rows 1000 \
218
+ --insert \
219
+ --db-url postgresql+psycopg://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb
220
+ ```
221
+
222
+ ### Control row counts per table
223
+
224
+ ```bash
225
+ datagen \
226
+ --ddl schema.sql \
227
+ --rows 100 \
228
+ --table-rows users=20,orders=500 \
229
+ --table-rows events=2000 \
230
+ --out json
231
+ ```
232
+
233
+ - `--rows` stays the global default
234
+ - `--table-rows table=count` overrides individual tables
235
+ - config files can use a `table_rows` map
236
+
237
+ ### Generate a validation report
238
+
239
+ ```bash
240
+ datagen \
241
+ --ddl schema.sql \
242
+ --rows 500 \
243
+ --strict-checks \
244
+ --report-path report.json \
245
+ --out json \
246
+ --output-path data.json
247
+ ```
248
+
249
+ The report includes counts and sample issues for:
250
+
251
+ - FK violations
252
+ - non-null violations
253
+ - unique collisions
254
+ - supported CHECK violations when `--strict-checks` is enabled
255
+
256
+ ### Use Parquet or the Polars engine
257
+
258
+ Parquet output:
259
+
260
+ ```bash
261
+ datagen \
262
+ --ddl schema.sql \
263
+ --rows 100 \
264
+ --out parquet \
265
+ --parquet-compression zstd \
266
+ --output-path ./parquet_out
267
+ ```
268
+
269
+ Polars generation and write path:
270
+
271
+ ```bash
272
+ datagen \
273
+ --ddl schema.sql \
274
+ --rows 100000 \
275
+ --out csv \
276
+ --engine polars \
277
+ --output-path ./csv_out
278
+ ```
279
+
280
+ Engine behavior:
281
+
282
+ - tables with CHECK constraints fall back to the Python row-wise generator
283
+ - tables with unique or primary-key constraints fall back to the Python row-wise generator
284
+ - FK-only tables can remain on the Polars path
285
+ - `--out parquet` requires the optional `polars` dependency regardless of `--engine`
286
+
287
+ ### BigQuery-specific output
288
+
289
+ ```bash
290
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --out bigquery --output-path out.sql
291
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --out bigquery --bq-insert-all --output-path out_insert_all.sql
292
+ ```
293
+
294
+ BigQuery output supports:
295
+
296
+ - dataset-qualified table names like `dataset.table`
297
+ - `INSERT ALL` rendering via `--bq-insert-all`
298
+ - typed `DATE` and `TIMESTAMP` literals
299
+

301
+
302
+ ## Config file example
303
+
304
+ ```bash
305
+ datagen --config datagen.toml
306
+ ```
307
+
308
+ Example `datagen.toml`:
309
+
310
+ ```toml
311
+ ddl = "schema.sql"
312
+ rows = 500
313
+ out = "postgres"
314
+ seed = 42
315
+ strict_checks = true
316
+ table_rows = { users = 100, orders = 500, events = 2000 }
317
+ dist = [
318
+ "users.age:normal,mean=33,std=7",
319
+ "orders.amount:pareto,alpha=1.7,xm=1",
320
+ ]
321
+ ```
322
+
323
+ CLI arguments override config file values.
324
+

326
+
327
+ ## Distribution overrides
328
+
329
+ Syntax:
330
+
331
+ ```text
332
+ --dist <column_or_table.column>:<kind>,k=v,k=v
333
+ ```
334
+
335
+ Supported distribution kinds:
336
+
337
+ - `normal`
338
+ - `poisson`
339
+ - `weighted`
340
+ - `exponential`
341
+ - `pareto`
342
+ - `zipf`
343
+ - `peak`
344
+
345
+ Examples:
346
+
347
+ ```bash
348
+ # global column rule
349
+ --dist age:normal,mean=35,std=7
350
+
351
+ # table-qualified rule (higher priority than global)
352
+ --dist users.age:normal,mean=30,std=6
353
+
354
+ # poisson counts
355
+ --dist daily_orders:poisson,lambda=3
356
+
357
+ # weighted categorical values
358
+ --dist tier:weighted,A=60%,B=30%,C=10%
359
+
360
+ # heavy-tail behavior
361
+ --dist amount:pareto,alpha=1.5,xm=1
362
+ --dist category_rank:zipf,skew=1.8,n=200
363
+
364
+ # peak-hour timestamps
365
+ --dist created_at:peak,hours=9-11,18-20
366
+ ```
367
+
368
+ Priority when both exist:
369
+
370
+ 1. `table.column`
371
+ 2. `column`
372
+
373

374
+
375
+ ## CHECK-aware generation
376
+
377
+ `loadforge` uses practical heuristics for common CHECK constraints during generation and can optionally validate them again with `--strict-checks`.
378
+
379
+ Supported forms include:
380
+
381
+ - numeric comparison: `age >= 18`, `qty > 0`, `score <= 100`, `x != 0`
382
+ - ranges: `price BETWEEN 10 AND 20`
383
+ - enum lists: `status IN ('A', 'B', 'C')`
384
+ - regex-like checks: `code ~ '^[A-Z]{2}$'`, `REGEXP_LIKE(code, '^[0-9]+$')`
385
+ - nested compound forms built from supported expressions with `AND` and `OR`
386
+
387
+ This is intentionally best-effort, not a full SQL expression engine.
388
+
389
+ ---
390
+
391
+ ## Reproducible runs
392
+
393
+ Use `--seed` to stabilize Python random and Faker output:
394
+
395
+ ```bash
396
+ datagen --ddl schema.sql --rows 100 --seed 42 --out json
397
+ ```
398
+
399
+ ---
400
+
401
+ ## CLI reference
402
+
403
+ ```bash
404
+ datagen [--ddl schema.sql | --schema-from-db --db-url URL [--tables t1,t2]]
405
+ [--config config.toml]
406
+ [--rows 100]
407
+ [--table-rows users=20,orders=500] [--table-rows events=2000]
408
+ [--out postgres|mysql|sqlite|bigquery|json|csv|parquet]
409
+ [--engine python|polars]
410
+ [--bq-insert-all]
411
+ [--output-path PATH]
412
+ [--insert --db-url URL]
413
+ [--dist ...] [--dist ...]
414
+ [--seed INT]
415
+ [--report-path report.json]
416
+ [--strict-checks]
417
+ [--parquet-compression snappy|zstd|lz4|gzip|none]
418
+ ```
419
+
420
+ Flag summary:
421
+
422
+ - `--config`: load defaults from JSON, TOML, YAML, or YML
423
+ - `--ddl`: input DDL file
424
+ - `--schema-from-db`: inspect table metadata from a live database
425
+ - `--tables`: optional comma-separated table filter for introspection mode
426
+ - `--rows`: global default rows per table
427
+ - `--table-rows`: per-table row overrides
428
+ - `--out`: output format, default `postgres`
429
+ - `--engine`: `python` or `polars`
430
+ - `--bq-insert-all`: BigQuery `INSERT ALL ... SELECT 1;` mode
431
+ - `--output-path`: output file path or output directory depending on format
432
+ - `--db-url`: SQLAlchemy database URL for introspection or direct insert
433
+ - `--insert`: insert generated rows directly into the target database
434
+ - `--dist`: distribution overrides
435
+ - `--seed`: deterministic generation seed
436
+ - `--report-path`: write a JSON report with validation summary
437
+ - `--strict-checks`: validate supported CHECK constraints after generation
438
+ - `--parquet-compression`: Parquet compression codec
439
+
440
+ ---
441
+
442
+ ## Limitations
443
+
444
+ - DDL parsing and DB introspection cover common schemas well, but advanced dialect-specific features are still partial.
445
+ - CHECK-aware generation and `--strict-checks` cover a practical subset, not arbitrary SQL expressions.
446
+ - Function-heavy or cross-column CHECK expressions are best-effort rather than fully modeled.
447
+ - `--engine polars` still falls back to Python for tables with CHECK, unique, or primary-key constraints.
