How to generate random data?

RajeshKumar1

Absolutely! If you want to add 5 more records to your table and only fill in the mandatory (NOT NULL) fields (those which do not have a default and are not nullable), you should supply values for these fields:

Mandatory Fields in Your Table

Based on your schema, the mandatory fields (that are NOT NULL and have no default) are:

name (varchar(255))
slug (varchar(255))
email (varchar(255))
password (varchar(255))
country_name (varchar(50))
phone (varchar(15))
currency (varchar(50))
avatar (varchar(191)) — default is 'default.png', so you can omit if you want default.
is_activated (tinyint(1)) — default is 0, so you can omit if you want default.

You can omit fields with default values, so only fill in the 7 required below.

Minimal Example SQL Insert for 5 Records

INSERT INTO your_table_name (
    name, slug, email, password, country_name, phone, currency
) VALUES
('John Doe', 'john-doe', 'john@example.com', 'hashedpassword1', 'India', '9999999999', 'INR'),
('Jane Smith', 'jane-smith', 'jane@example.com', 'hashedpassword2', 'India', '8888888888', 'INR'),
('Ali Khan', 'ali-khan', 'ali@example.com', 'hashedpassword3', 'Pakistan', '7777777777', 'PKR'),
('Lisa Ray', 'lisa-ray', 'lisa@example.com', 'hashedpassword4', 'USA', '6666666666', 'USD'),
('Carlos Mendez', 'carlos-mendez', 'carlos@example.com', 'hashedpassword5', 'Mexico', '5555555555', 'MXN');

Replace "hashedpasswordX" with actual hashed passwords (never store plain text passwords).
The avatar and is_activated fields will take their defaults ('default.png' and 0).

Fields you do NOT need to specify (unless you want to):

id (auto-increment)
avatar (defaults to 'default.png')
is_activated (defaults to 0)
Any other field marked as NULL or with a default value.

Let me know if you want the same insert for any other field combination or a CSV!

Great context! Here’s a quick summary and step-by-step guide to help you add more records to your users table with only the required fields (for minimal inserts) or as per your use case.

A. Only Mandatory Fields – Minimal Insert

Given your schema and constraints (from earlier), the minimum insert would look like:

INSERT INTO users (
    name, slug, email, password, country_name, phone, currency
) VALUES
('User One', 'user-one', 'one@example.com', '$2y$10$abc', 'India', '9000000001', 'INR'),
('User Two', 'user-two', 'two@example.com', '$2y$10$def', 'India', '9000000002', 'INR'),
('User Three', 'user-three', 'three@example.com', '$2y$10$ghi', 'India', '9000000003', 'INR'),
('User Four', 'user-four', 'four@example.com', '$2y$10$jkl', 'India', '9000000004', 'INR'),
('User Five', 'user-five', 'five@example.com', '$2y$10$mno', 'India', '9000000005', 'INR');

Passwords here are bcrypt-hashed demo strings.

B. To Link to Cities Table

If you want to link city details (from your cities table) with each user, you'll need to also fill city_id, city_name, state_id, and state (unless you want to leave them NULL).

Example Insert using minimal + city info:

INSERT INTO users (
    name, slug, email, password, country_name, phone, currency, city_id, city_name, state_id, state
) VALUES
('User One', 'user-one', 'one@example.com', '$2y$10$abc', 'India', '9000000001', 'INR', 132255, 'Jawāla Mukhi', 4020, 'Himachal Pradesh'),
('User Two', 'user-two', 'two@example.com', '$2y$10$def', 'India', '9000000002', 'INR', 1, 'Andorra la Vella', 488, 'Andorra'),
('User Three', 'user-three', 'three@example.com', '$2y$10$ghi', 'India', '9000000003', 'INR', 2, 'Arinsal', 493, 'Andorra'),
('User Four', 'user-four', 'four@example.com', '$2y$10$jkl', 'India', '9000000004', 'INR', 3, 'Canillo', 489, 'Andorra'),
('User Five', 'user-five', 'five@example.com', '$2y$10$mno', 'India', '9000000005', 'INR', 4, 'El Tarter', 489, 'Andorra');

You can map each user to a city for more realistic test data.

C. Practical Tips

Any fields omitted and set as NULL or with a default will auto-fill.
id is auto-increment; do not specify it (or use NULL as in your example).
Add more fields if you want more complete user profiles, but the above is sufficient for mandatory requirements.

D. Example: One User Row from Your Data

Here’s how your provided example matches the structure (with optional and required fields):

INSERT INTO users (
    name, slug, email, password, country_name, phone, currency, city_id, city_name, state_id, state
) VALUES
('Dr khushi kumari', 'dr-khushi-kumari', 'khushi9898@gmail.com', '$2y$10$hZpiu1kdS7B2mb0rOC9zQubPmiZ/oat8s3Jx8B/rpkWZlb2ZH6bPi', 'India', '9876543210', 'Indian Rupee', 132255, 'Jawāla Mukhi', 4020, 'Himachal Pradesh');

E. Generate More?

If you want auto-generated fake data for quick filling, or want a script to populate the table with, say, 100 users, let me know!

Summary:

Minimum: name, slug, email, password, country_name, phone, currency
With City: add city_id, city_name, state_id, state for linkage

Let me know if you need data in CSV, bulk SQL, or a specific format!

RajeshKumar1

Absolutely, you can link users to a city, state, and country in your insert by using the appropriate IDs and names from your cities table (and related states/countries). Below is a clear example showing how you might insert a user, filling all three relationships:

A. Example Mapping from Your City Table

Let's use your cities sample:

(1, 'Andorra la Vella', 488, '07', 6, 'AD', ...)

city_id: 1
city_name: 'Andorra la Vella'
state_id: 488
state_name: (You need to fetch from your states table; let's call it 'Andorra la Vella State' for now)
country_id: 6
country_name: (Assuming 'Andorra')
country_code: 'AD'

B. User Insert With City-State-Country Linkage

Required Fields + City, State, Country

INSERT INTO users (
    name, slug, email, password, country_id, country_name, country_code, phone, currency, state_id, state, city_id, city_name
) VALUES
('User Andorra', 'user-andorra', 'andorra@example.com', '$2y$10$testhash1', 6, 'Andorra', 'AD', '9000000001', 'Euro', 488, 'Andorra la Vella State', 1, 'Andorra la Vella'),
('User India', 'user-india', 'india@example.com', '$2y$10$testhash2', 101, 'India', 'IN', '9000000002', 'INR', 4020, 'Himachal Pradesh', 132255, 'Jawāla Mukhi');

How to Get State and Country Names:

city_id: from your cities table
city_name: from your cities table
state_id: from your cities table
state_name: from your states table (match on state_id)
country_id: from your cities table
country_name and country_code: from your countries table (match on country_id)

C. Full Example for 2 Users

INSERT INTO users (
    name, slug, email, password, country_id, country_name, country_code, phone, currency, state_id, state, city_id, city_name
) VALUES
('Khushi Kumari', 'khushi-kumari', 'khushi@example.com', '$2y$10$hZpIU1kD...etc', 101, 'India', 'IN', '9876543210', 'INR', 4020, 'Himachal Pradesh', 132255, 'Jawāla Mukhi'),
('Andorra User', 'andorra-user', 'andorra@example.com', '$2y$10$testtest...etc', 6, 'Andorra', 'AD', '9000000003', 'Euro', 488, 'Andorra la Vella State', 1, 'Andorra la Vella');

Replace 'Himachal Pradesh' and 'Andorra la Vella State' with the correct state names from your states table.

Passwords should be properly hashed.

This pattern can be repeated for any user and city worldwide as long as you have the city, state, and country info.

D. To Add 5 Users (Template)

INSERT INTO users (
    name, slug, email, password, country_id, country_name, country_code, phone, currency, state_id, state, city_id, city_name
) VALUES
('User One', 'user-one', 'one@example.com', '$2y$10$hashone', 6, 'Andorra', 'AD', '9000000001', 'Euro', 488, 'Andorra la Vella State', 1, 'Andorra la Vella'),
('User Two', 'user-two', 'two@example.com', '$2y$10$hashtwo', 101, 'India', 'IN', '9000000002', 'INR', 4020, 'Himachal Pradesh', 132255, 'Jawāla Mukhi'),
('User Three', 'user-three', 'three@example.com', '$2y$10$hashthree', 6, 'Andorra', 'AD', '9000000003', 'Euro', 489, 'Canillo State', 3, 'Canillo'),
('User Four', 'user-four', 'four@example.com', '$2y$10$hashfour', 6, 'Andorra', 'AD', '9000000004', 'Euro', 487, 'Encamp State', 5, 'Encamp'),
('User Five', 'user-five', 'five@example.com', '$2y$10$hashfive', 6, 'Andorra', 'AD', '9000000005', 'Euro', 493, 'Arinsal State', 2, 'Arinsal');

Again, adjust the state field with your real state names.

E. Automation Tip

If you have all your city, state, and country tables, you can easily script this in SQL or PHP/Python to create as many users as you want, matching correct city-state-country combinations.

Let me know if you want a script to auto-generate users with random city/state/country data from your existing tables!

RajeshKumar1

Perfect question! To generate random user insert statements for each city in your city-state-country list (1000+ rows), the best and most scalable approach is to use a script (Python, PHP, Node.js, or even SQL if your DB supports functions).

Here’s a solution using Python—this will read your city data, and auto-generate realistic user inserts for each city, with randomized user details.

Step-by-Step: Python Script to Generate Random User Insert Statements

1. Prepare your cities list as CSV

Suppose your cities.csv contains:

city_id,city_name,state_id,state_name,country_id,country_name,country_code,currency
1,Andorra la Vella,488,Andorra la Vella State,6,Andorra,AD,Euro
2,Arinsal,493,Arinsal State,6,Andorra,AD,Euro
3,Canillo,489,Canillo State,6,Andorra,AD,Euro
...

(You can add more columns if you have them, like phone code.)

2. Python Script Example

import csv
import random
import faker

fake = faker.Faker()

def slugify(text):
    return text.lower().replace(' ', '-')

with open('cities.csv', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as csvfile:
    reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
    inserts = []
    for row in reader:
        name = fake.name()
        slug = slugify(name)
        email = slug.replace('-', '.') + "@example.com"
        password = '$2y$10$' + fake.sha1()[:22]   # Fake hash, not real bcrypt!
        phone = str(random.randint(9000000000, 9999999999))
        city_id = row['city_id']
        city_name = row['city_name']
        state_id = row['state_id']
        state = row['state_name']
        country_id = row['country_id']
        country_name = row['country_name']
        country_code = row['country_code']
        currency = row['currency']
        inserts.append(
            f"('{name}', '{slug}', '{email}', '{password}', {country_id}, '{country_name}', '{country_code}', '{phone}', '{currency}', {state_id}, '{state}', {city_id}, '{city_name}')"
        )

# Print as one big insert
print("INSERT INTO users (name, slug, email, password, country_id, country_name, country_code, phone, currency, state_id, state, city_id, city_name) VALUES")
print(",\n".join(inserts) + ";")

You’ll get 1 random user per city in your CSV.
The script prints a complete INSERT INTO statement for MySQL.

3. Run the Script

Save the script as generate_users.py
Run: pip install faker
Execute: python generate_users.py
Output will be your SQL insert. Copy-paste into your DB tool.

4. What if you have the city data only in SQL?

Export city info from SQL as CSV.
Use above script.
Or use SQL to generate fake names/emails, but that’s much more limited.

Summary

Use Python and faker to create realistic, unique data.
Each user will have a city-state-country match.
Script can be easily adapted for additional fields or format.

Want the script to generate CSV directly, or as multiple smaller INSERTs?

Just say so, and I’ll provide it!
