ABSTRACT:
A method and computer program product for creating plurality of pseudo-records based on existing records is provided. Database records having N key fields and one or more data fields that exist in a database. A user will select from a graphical user interface one of the N key fields as a mix category. From the mix category, values and weightings for those values will be chosen in order to create a mix of records having those values. Also, values from each of the remaining N-1 key fields are chosen so that records may be found to serve as a basis for the new pseudo-records. Each pseudo-record is formed by storing the formulaic composition of a hybrid value in the key field representing the mix category, assigning each of the N-1 remaining key fields a value from the corresponding key fields in the group of data records making up the basis for the pseudo-record, and assigning each of the data record fields a mixed value composed of applying the hybrid value weightings to each of the respective values in the corresponding base data records to create the mixed value.
