Generate a representational datasets

[trusty]

Hey all,

We have decided to assign the development of our commercial website to another company and they are asking for a copy of our databases in order to make some tests on performances.
However, my boss doesn't want any data leak...

I would like to generate datasets with a volume that epitomizes the amount of data within our databases.

Thanks.

Hi Trusty,

What i would propose is to do "data anonymising" : you keep the exact same volume of data in your database(s) but change some of the variables related to your data (and keep others).

This variant allows you to get a database which can't be more representational than the original one, since you decide which changes to make depending on the confidentiality level wanted.

It sounds to be the better option to "anonymise" my data indeed. With which tool can I do it ?
