1. Database Data Generator
Presented by: Christopher Jestice

2. Project Specifications
The goal of this project is to create a program that quickly and efficiently generates large amount of data for use in testing and debugging a database.
The data should be unique when uniqueness is a constraint of the database
Program should be robust and support more than one RDBMS specification
While the program is platform specific the platforms the data is built for should not.
Object oriented techniques should be utilized.
User interface should be designed for a programmer with powerful features but minimize amount of interaction required
