#1 Default and Absolute Fields

[Anonymous]

It would be really handy if there was a standard way to
specify that a field should use the default (database
provided) value without removing the field from the
table's schema.

More importantly, there should be some way to specify a
constant value to be used. I am having to use the
dictionary generator with two identical entries at the
moment!! I know I can roll my own generators, but this
is widely useful, plus I don't have a Java IDE set-up
right now.

By the way: Thank you so much for this tool. It is so
powerful, yet really easy to use, and I think it is the
only open-source database population program out there.
Great job!

Default field feature sounds great and will be implemented
in the very next release.

The second goul, the absolute field may be achieved in some
tricky way, that is by using the boolean generator and
setting the probability to 100 (or 0), see the manual to
find out how to force BooleanGenerator to produce
non-boolean values. If you think there is a reason to do
some redundancy in that area tell me about it.

Thank you for using DBMonster and sharing your valuable
opinion on it! I am really happy that someone besides me
finds this tool useful.
