You can generate ALOT of data using a cross join against multiple tables. Create a table with 10 or 12 first names, another with 10 or 12 last names (they could be random character strings) and do the same for city, state. Cross join them and you'll get the dataset that you're looking for.

>I am looking for a really big data file to use in a VFP demo. I wanted something with a few hundred thousand records, like street names or postal codes or something like that I could run queries on both using DBF files and also with the data transfered to SQL Server. If someone has a file they'd like to share, or a routine that builds a big file (a few hundred megs, a few million records!) I would appreciate it.
