Motivation

• To generate synthetic data for DB application testing, especially performance testing.

Many applications are involving large-scale databases with sensitive information.

Complete testing is essential for database applications to function correctly and to provide acceptable performance.

Demo 4

Our Approach

• To generate synthetic databases based on a-priori knowledge about the current production databases

The needed a-priori knowledge is generally available from ER, DDL, Data Dictionary with schema, data integrity rules as well as basic statistical information

Can extract detailed statistical information if original data or samples from production database are available

The data can be either realistic amounts or any amounts

Better controllability, observability, and privacy

Demo 5

Three Characteristics of Synthetic Data• Valid

The synthetic data need to satisfy all the same constraints and business rules as the live data

Necessary for functional testing

• Privacy preserving No disclosure of any confidential information that need to be protected

• Resembling to real data The synthetic data need to have the similar statistical distributions or

patterns as the live data Necessary for performance testing as the statistical nature of the data

determines query performance

We will show if data distributions are not similar, the execution

time of the same workload may be totally different.
