Beta Release of MSSQL.DataMask

I've been buried for 3 months spending all spare time creating MSSQL.DataMask.  Just released it in beta for feedback.  Will go through several weeks of testing and bug fixing.

Description: If you need rich test data to develop, test, or outsource your project, you've probably tried either generating from scratch, or cloning from production data. Auto-generating the test data is difficult and error prone for all but the simplest databases due to complex variances, frequencies, and data interdependencies. Business and legal obligations such as HIPAA require that production data clones be thoroughly sanitized of protected personal or health information.

MSSQL.DataMask is a simple, free tool that will quickly sanitize a clone of your production database into a safe, secure test database. Once built, the process is easily repeatable to refresh your test data from production. You can either load and re-run a set of data masks from the application, or generate a fully documented tSQL script to modify, run, or schedule as your needs dictate.
