Parameters

hi guys!
when changing the config file (witch changed from config.json to config_example.json from last version)
it doesn't change anything while generating files.

i've opened the generateDatebases and i think its not getting data from the config files...
as this picture shows

I don't understand what you mean. You highlighted commented rows, which can be uncommented to be executed. I don't understand the relationship with the json file you mentioned. Please, can you clarify the question?

hi @marcosqlbi
I think would be good to have only one file to manipulate.
in config.json has some fields to control OrdersCount and so on... but it is hardcoded in line 63 (Of generatedatabases.ps1).

I would suggest also to move those parameters to the config file, and pull this information from there ( interations/name of file/ etc... )

another suggestion would be to move the sql instance name for the config file(It was created in generatedatabases.ps1), so it would be easier to explain to people what to change in just one file.

I would rather comment the line 63 in the PowerShell script, providing a default execution that uses the parameters in the JSON file without overriding them, and explaining that the commented version overrides a few parameters (which can be useful to generate multiple files of different sizes with all the other parameters being identical.
Wouldn't it be better?

at first look i thought the config(json) would be the only file to change.
we could assume that everything there would not be overwrite and also add: Instance name | name of the file

I'm still testing here

Sorry your suggestion is not clear - please, can you clarify?
