  • TypeName — Type of corresponding column.
  • max_array_length — Maximum elements for all generated arrays or maps. Defaults to 10.
  • max_string_length — Maximum string length for all generated strings. Defaults to 10.
  • random_seed — Specify random seed manually to produce stable results. If NULL — seed is randomly generated.
