test data sources?
Does anybody know of any free online sources for database test data?

I'm thinking here of...
* lists of surnames/first names
* lists of company/organization names
* addresses

Thoughts?

I've found some tools that I can use once I have the data sources.

I think that you'd be FAR better off to create your own data for testing. If you "roll your own" you'll have exactly the kind of data that you want to use for testing, and no liability related to using "live" data.
