Generate MariaDB Test Data
Generate production-ready MariaDB datasets with their own loader script, LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE commands and foreign keys that resolve on the first import.

Here's what SynthForge IO generates for MariaDB, ready to run.
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `synthforge_import`;
USE `synthforge_import`;
CREATE TABLE customers (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(120) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
tier VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'free',
notes TEXT,
created_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
CREATE TABLE orders (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
customer_id INT NOT NULL,
total DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL,
status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'pending',
placed_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
CONSTRAINT fk_orders_customers_customer_id
FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customers(id)
);
-- Bulk load via LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE, paths relative to your client
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'csv/customers.csv'

Every export is optimized for MariaDB's specific syntax, types, and bulk loading commands.
Its Own Loader Script
Every CSV export ships an import_mariadb.sql of its own, not a MySQL script with the name changed. Run it against a fresh database and the schema, the constraints and the bulk-load commands are all there.
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
Rows arrive through MariaDB's bulk loader rather than one INSERT at a time. CSV paths are written relative to your client, so the script runs from the folder you unzipped it into.
Foreign Keys That Resolve
Constraints are declared inside CREATE TABLE and the tables come out in dependency order. Nothing needs disabling before the import and nothing dangles after it.
Long Text Without Error 1170
Unmapped and long-form columns become TEXT so values are never truncated. When a TEXT, BLOB or JSON column is also a key, it is rewritten to VARCHAR(255) so InnoDB can index it, which is the difference between an import that runs and error 1170.
Who uses MariaDB test data?
Teams Off MySQL
Seed a MariaDB instance with the same dataset you were loading into MySQL, using a script written for MariaDB rather than one you have to adapt.
LAMP And Self-Hosted Stacks
Fill a local or staging database with realistic users, orders and content for the distributions that ship MariaDB as the default.
Migration Rehearsals
Generate one dataset and load it into both engines from the same export, so a MySQL to MariaDB move is tested against identical rows.
MariaDB Output, Not A MySQL Rename
MariaDB shares MySQL's column types and backtick quoting, so most of the DDL looks familiar. What matters is the parts that are decided per dialect.
A Script Per Dialect
The exporter writes seven loader scripts for every schema, one of which is import_mariadb.sql. Picking CSV is enough to get it; there is no separate MariaDB export to choose.
Backtick Quoting
Identifiers are quoted with backticks and checked against MariaDB's own reserved words, so a column called `order` or `rank` does not stop the import.
Key Columns Stay Indexable
A key column that would otherwise be TEXT or JSON is narrowed to VARCHAR(255). Non-key columns keep the unbounded type, so nothing is shortened just to be safe.
Referential Integrity In The Data
Child rows point at parent rows that exist. The constraint is not the only thing making that true; the generator builds the values that way.
