I've attached a PHP script called mktestdb that reads in the dictionary at
/usr/share/dict/words, and inserts a user defined number of rows into a
user defined number of columns.
It's ugly and simple. Just pipe the output to a text file or psql and off
you go.
usage:
mktestdb tablename [rows [cols]]
default of 1 column and 1000 rows.
It would be easy enough to rewrite this in something more portable if
someone wanted to.
