Description

The RandomFirstNameMale transformer utilizes a comprehensive list of male first names to inject random male first names into the designated database column. This feature allows for the creation of diverse and realistic user profiles with a focus on male names without using real user data.

Example: Populate random male first names for the user_profiles table

This example demonstrates configuring the RandomFirstNameMale transformer to populate the first_name column in the user_profiles table with random male first names. It is an effective method for simulating a variety of user profiles with diverse male first names.

RandomFirstNameMale transformer example

- schema: "public"
  name: "user_profiles"
  transformers:
    - name: "RandomFirstNameMale"
      params:
        column: "first_name"
        keep_null: false

In this configuration, the first_name column will be updated with random male first names for each user profile entry, replacing any existing non-NULL values. If the keep_null parameter is set to true, existing NULL values in the column will be preserved, ensuring the integrity of records where male first name information is not applicable or provided.
