Re: How to make test data from large sets of data?

["Carel Teijgeler" <coteijgeler@xxxxxxxxx>]

It depends, whether or not those files have a field representinga date (any
data type) in them.

If there is, you could select from a certain date.
Depending files could be checked, if the reference key exists in the base
file for the copying.. 

Small files (less than a certain number of records, set your own limit) I
would copy in full.

With regards,
