Contoso Data Generator


The Contoso Data Generator is a tool to generate sample databases with random generated orders for the Contoso data model in order to provide demo data.

It consist of a c# program, to generate the orders and a set of powershell and t-sql scripts, to generate the database, that import the generated orders files, and fixed customers, product, stores, and currency exchange files.

The tool is available on github:

Contoso-Data-Generator

The release v1.0.0 contains a set of downloadable Contoso databases of different sizes, a ready-to-use version of the tool, and the source code in compressed formats.

The pre-generated database files require the SQL Server 2019 or newer, but we expect the tool to be working starting from SQL Server 2016 (we did just a few tests with SQL Server 2017).
