| Hello.Though this is not directly a SQL related question but I could not think of some other forum to post this request. <y apologies if I should have posted elsewhere...I need some sample data for a departmental store (like WalMart of KMart) which sell a wide variety of things and probably everything under the sun :)I need data in such a manner that we have 4-5 levels of data hierarchy. For example we can have a data hierarchy like follows:Classification Category Sub Category Product Group ItemThe above is just an example but I hope that most of you already know what I neeed. An example of data based on the following hierarchy can be as follows (shown in a tabular manner)Classification | Category | Sub Category | Product Group | Item---------------------------------------------------------------Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| Audio| SONY Room entertainment box, 2 speakers 300 W each, ....Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| Audio| Phillips Boom Box, ...specifications....Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| Video| SAMSUNG DVD Player model SG-17X5 ...Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| T.V | SONG TRINTORN 51" ...........Groceries | Drinks | Colas| Coke | COke 12-Pack Cans ....Groceries | Drinks | Colas| Coke | COke 2.25 Litre Jumbo Pack..Groceries | Drinks | Colas| PEPSI| PEPSI 2.25 Litre Jumbo Pack..........Toys | Girls | Dolls| Barbie | Barbie princees model A21 .......I hope the above provides you with a clear understanding of my requirement.I'll be extremely grateful for your help.Thanks & Regards. Thanks & Regards.-J |

Ask your customer for the data or generate it yourself. I believe some of us do have similar data but the data does not belong to us but the company that we work for or our customer. It will not be right to provide the data to anybody. It is best to generate it yourself. Others has suggested various way to do this. Try it. It is not that difficult to do it. KH |
