We’ve added PostgreSQL, Oracle and Informix to our list of supported bulk order formats. We now support 5 database formats:

• IBM Informix (tested with Informix Dynamic Server 11.50)
• Microsoft SQL Server (tested with SQL Server 2005)
• MySQL (tested with MySQL 5.1)
• Oracle (tested with Oracle 10g Express)
• PostgreSQL (tested with PostgreSQL 8.4)

Please let us know if you run into any problems using any of our bulk order formats!

On an unrelated note, we are now serving static content from a cookie-less domain. This should make all pages load faster.

We’ve also corrected some display problems for IE6 and IE7. In a perfect world, these browsers wouldn’t exist, but until then we’re willing to put forth a little effort to make the Fake Name Generator usable in them.

We’ve updated our bulk order code to include occupations.

We are updating our free 1,000,000 name download file to include occupations, too. This should be done sometime tonight or early tomorrow. The new file is up.

Please let us know if you run into any problems with the bulk orders, or if we can provide them in a different format that will be more useful to you!

We’ve added two new national identification numbers to the Fake Name Generator:

• Finland’s henkilötunnus
• Sweden’s personnummer

We’ll be releasing generation and validation code in PHP and JavaScript for these identification numbers shortly.
