=======================

Overview
--------
The main purpose of DbFiller utility is to fill database tables by random data. You need it if you want to test how your applicatin works with a big data array and you don't have real database.

Using
-----
1. Create new filling scenario ("Work" | "New scenario"), choose alias and table for filling.
2. A grid will appear in main window. First column of the grid is a list of all fields of table. Second - filling methods for each fields. Third - filling values.
There are 5 filling method:
  - Single value: all records in table will have the same value in the given field;
  - Random value from set: you have to input a list of available values (it can be strings or numbers) and each record will get one of these values by random way;
  - Random integer value from range: each record will get a integer value from given range by random way;
  - Random float value from range: the same method as the previous one with real values. 
  - Autoincremental integer values from the given number.
3. Then you choose filling method and input filling values for each field. The formats of filling values for the methods are:
 First  : <value>
 Second : <value>, <value>, ...
 Third  : <integer value> - <integer value>
 Fourth : <real value> - <real value>
 Fifth  : <integer value> 

Here <value> means any value (number, date, time, string etc.) accordingly the field type.

4.Then you can input number of records and press 'Fill Up' button to get the result
NOTE: Table will be emptied before filling.
