Description

The RandomCompany transformer utilizes a comprehensive list of company names to inject random company names into the designated database column. This feature allows for the creation of diverse and realistic company data by simulating a variety of company names without using real company data.

column object attributes

• name — the name of the column where the attributes will be stored. This value is required.

• template - the template for the column value. You can use the attributes: .CompanyName, .CompanySuffix. For example, if you want to generate a full company name, you can use the next template: "{{ .CompanyName }} {{ .CompanySuffix }}"

• hashing - the bool value. Indicates whether the column value must be passed through the hashing function. The default value is false. If all column has hashing set to false (by default), then all columns will be hashed.

• keep_null - the bool value. Indicates whether NULL values should be preserved. The default value is true

Example: Populate random first name and last name for table company_profiles in static mode

This example demonstrates how to use the RandomCompany transformer to populate the name column in the company_profiles table with random company names, and company suffixes respectively.

Create table company_profiles and insert data

CREATE TABLE company_data
(
    id      SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    name    VARCHAR(100),
);

-- Insert sample data into the table
INSERT INTO personal_data (name, surname, sex)
VALUES ('ACME Corp'),
       ('Foo LLP'),
       ('Bar Inc.'),
