Network Programming in .NET

If you would like to learn about SQL server indexes, and SQL server performance in general, but can’t get your hands on a large dataset that really tests the limits of your SQL server, then here is a script that generates a huge dataset, based on random data.

create table Test1
(
id int identity(1,1),
guid varchar(36) default newid(),
dateCreated datetime default getdate(),
number float default rand()
)

while 1=1
Begin
insert into Test1 default values
end

You just let it run for as long as you like, then stop it whenever you have enough rows.
