Try now!
First install Rust and this tool:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
cargo install tpchgen-cli
# create Scale Factor 10 (3.6GB, 8 files, 60M rows in lineitem) in 5 seconds on a modern laptop
tpchgen-cli -s 10 --format=parquet
Performance

tpchgen-cli is more than 10x faster than any other
TPCH generator we know of. On a 2023 Mac M3 Max laptop, it easily generates data
faster than can be written to SSD. See BENCHMARKS.md
for more details on performance and benchmarking.
Testing
This crate has extensive tests to ensure correctness. We compare the output of
this crate with the original dbgen implementation as part of every checkin.
See TESTING.md for more details.
Crates
tpchgenis the library that implements the data generation logic for TPCH and it can be used to embed data generation logic natively in Rust.
tpchgen-arrow is a library for generating in memory Apache Arrow
record batches for each of the TPCH tables
tpchgen-cliis adbgencompatible CLI tool that generates tables from the TPCH benchmark dataset.
