Call for aid - more complete set of demo data xml's
I am looking for anyone who might have a set of xml's that contain demo data (ie no actually real people) to put in my build environment to extend the speed I can confirm changes I am making are effective...
Having to readd clients/reminders/etc each time I rebuild is annoying, and I cant use sql because there are occassional archetype changes I make not compatible with my own prev changes. hence a complete rebuild each time.
So I want to use the dataloader to add the info to check for consistency within my own changes.

Ben - you may recall that I have a fully anonymised version of our database. You are welcome to this. However, I am not sure how best to go about generating the xml format data needed by dataload. The other problem that you may have is dataload failing when loading large amounts of data. You may recall that I had problems using dataload to load our species/breed data and that my solution was to split the load into 3 parts: dogs, cats and others.
This suggests an alternative approach: if you have a small dataset in xml format, then massage this to change the customer names etc as required (eg - change 1st two letters of customer names, and add 1 to each reminder date, then rerun dataload, then repeat as necessary).
