MySQL Bulk Insert Generator (Datetime & Boolean Fixes)

Generate production-ready MySQL mock data with proper datetime formatting, boolean handling, and MySQL-specific syntax.

Why MySQL Developers Choose MockBlast

MySQL has specific datetime and boolean requirements that can break imports if your mock data isn't formatted correctly. MockBlast handles these automatically:

πŸ“… Proper Datetime Formatting

Generates MySQL-compatible datetime values (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) and TIMESTAMP values that MySQL accepts without errors. No more "incorrect datetime value" messages.

βœ“ Boolean Handling

Correctly generates TINYINT(1) values (0 or 1) for boolean columns, matching MySQL's internal representation. Works with both BIT(1) and TINYINT(1).

⚑ Bulk INSERT Optimization

Generates optimized bulk INSERT statements with multiple value sets in a single query. Much faster than individual INSERT statements.

πŸ”’ AUTO_INCREMENT Support

Understands AUTO_INCREMENT columns and generates proper sequential IDs. Maintains referential integrity with foreign keys automatically.

MySQL-Specific Features

MockBlast understands MySQL's unique data types and constraints:

  • β€’DATETIME & TIMESTAMP: Generates valid MySQL datetime values with proper formatting.
  • β€’TINYINT(1) Booleans: Correct boolean representation (0/1) for MySQL.
  • β€’AUTO_INCREMENT: Sequential ID generation that matches MySQL behavior.
  • β€’VARCHAR & TEXT: Proper string escaping for MySQL INSERT statements.
  • β€’ENUM Types: Support for MySQL ENUM columns with predefined values.
  • β€’Foreign Keys: Maintains referential integrity across InnoDB tables.

Example: MySQL Schema with Datetime and Booleans

Import This Schema:

CREATE TABLE users (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
  email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  is_active TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 1,
  email_verified TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0,
  created_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE orders (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  user_id INT,
  total DECIMAL(10, 2),
  is_paid TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0,
  order_date DATETIME,
  FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

MockBlast Generates:

INSERT INTO users (id, name, email, is_active, email_verified, created_at, updated_at) VALUES
  (1, 'John Doe', 'john@example.com', 1, 1, '2024-01-15 10:30:00', '2024-01-15 10:30:00'),
  (2, 'Jane Smith', 'jane@example.com', 1, 0, '2024-01-16 14:20:00', '2024-01-16 14:20:00'),
  (3, 'Bob Johnson', 'bob@example.com', 0, 1, '2024-01-17 08:15:00', '2024-01-17 08:15:00');

INSERT INTO orders (id, user_id, total, is_paid, order_date) VALUES
  (1, 1, 149.99, 1, '2024-01-18 09:30:00'),
  (2, 1, 299.99, 0, '2024-01-19 15:45:00'),
  (3, 2, 79.99, 1, '2024-01-20 11:20:00');
