I have a requirement to fill the below table with 40 million dummy records:
mysql> desc employees;
+------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| emp_no | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| birth_date | date | NO | | NULL | |
| first_name | varchar(14) | NO | | NULL | |
| last_name | varchar(16) | NO | | NULL | |
| gender | enum('M','F') | NO | | NULL | |
| hire_date | date | NO | | NULL | |
+------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
I have no idea how this can be done in MySQL, I need help writing a script to do this.
