Create Synthetic Data

DuckDB allows you to quickly generate synthetic data sets. To do so, you may use:

For example:

import duckdb

from duckdb.typing import *
from faker import Faker

def random_date():
    fake = Faker()
    return fake.date_between()

duckdb.create_function("random_date", random_date, [], DATE, type="native", side_effects=True)
res = duckdb.sql("""
                 SELECT hash(i * 10 + j) AS id, random_date() AS creationDate, IF (j % 2, true, false)
                 FROM generate_series(1, 5) s(i)
                 CROSS JOIN generate_series(1, 2) t(j)
                 """)
res.show()

This generates the following:

┌──────────────────────┬──────────────┬─────────┐

│        uint64        │     date     │ boolean │
