Data Generator, just for testing?
Hello everybody,
can a Data Generator Plan be used just for testing? No possibility one can use it to immediately generate data in SQL Server, e.g. as a checkbox choose on Deploy Selection?

Thanks for the suggestion. I can see value in running a generation plan as a post-deployment step. Can you please enter this suggestion on http://connect.microsoft.com so that other customers can see the suggestion and vote/comment on it as well?
You may also be interested in reading the post on invoking data generation plans via our public API.

You can write an executable that calls our public API to run the generation plan. So you can use msbuild to build/deploy your db project and then invoke your executable to generate data.
