setting multiple columns at the same time

This may be tricky to implement but I have a table with 30 columns that are all INT and should have values between 1 and 10 to store survey responses. Is it possible to select all these columns in the SQL Data Generator UI and set them all to be RegEx [0-1][0-9] in one step?

    Many thanks for your post.

    Yes you can do that but it will do it in batches of 10.

    To do that you need to follow below mentioned settings:

    You have to select them one at a time and set there Min value as 0 and Max value as 9 and than set the distribution as 'Random'

    Kindly let me know if this answers your question.

    Mean while I will try to find best way to do it.

    Anu, I can get the values in to the columns fine, its just I have to do it 30 times. The feature I am asking for is to be able to select more than one column and apply the same data generation rules to them all.
