Talk:Obfuscator
[edit] Another use case, possibly easy to add?
There is another usecase that might be an easy subset of the functionality planned for the obfuscator. The usecase is obfuscating data for use on QA and development servers. To support this usecase, the data MUST be obfuscated but the table and column names MUST NOT be. Can database structure obfuscation be an optional component?
Example: A software-as-a-service shop is running production servers that contain large amounts of customer data. They would like to make a subset of the data available to developers for realistic testing but they cannot expose customer data. Using the obfuscator with db structure obfuscation turned off will allow operations to easily export such data subset (via select * from key tables with relevant date where clause).
