Increase the size of the Demo site database
May 27, 2010, 01:05:03 pm
111 Contacts is all the Drupal Demo site has in the database.  This is not an accurate representation of a field website that may have 10x or 100x that many Contacts.  For testing purposes, this small data is an inappropriate QA/test environment.  Of course your new MySQL query works fast enough for 111 Contacts, but what about 11,110?  

On the other hand, for demo purposes, this small amount of data doesn't do justice to the feature richness of CiviCRM that a potential user might want to experience while test-driving the software.

Suggest increase the size of the Demo database in all aspects:  Contacts, Contributions, Events, Groups, etc.

No takers huh?   ;)  Ok here's a start.  1000 randomly generated fictional people courtesy of www.generatedata.com and imported into the test site. Under group http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/group/search?reset=1&force=1&context=smog&gid=9

I have the .csv file if you want it (too large to attach to this post)

Also suggest:
1. More events
2. More relationships
3. More donations

If you agree, I'll come up with all and import where you say to.

Stoob:

we are just swamped with 3.2 and related projects. The current data generation (check instructions at bottom of setup.sh.txt) can generate X contacts. If you'd like to take the lead and be responsible for the data on our demo / sandbox that would be great

note that we might need to split generated data and demo data, since we also load generated data as sample data and not sure we want to load a huge DB into someone testing civicrm

Found the file and read the instructions, it's a head-scratcher, and unclear in which file I want to put new data.  For instance, if I grep for "Inner City Arts" that ubiquitous Contact Org we all know and love, it's in 3 different files.  

Is it civicrm_generated.mysql that I want to modify?

Am I free to add a few hundred more contacts, events and contributions into the sample data?
