I have a table with two fields:

I assume sentance == statement? You could use perl or plperl as perl has some good random data generators. Check out perl CPAN module Data::Random to start.

Here's a sample of a perl script to generate some different random stuff taken from CPAN.

use Data::Random qw(:all);

  my @random_words = rand_words( size => 10 );

  my @random_chars = rand_chars( set => 'all', min => 5, max => 8 );

  my @random_set = rand_set( set => \@set, size => 5 );

  my $random_enum = rand_enum( set => \@set );

  my $random_date = rand_date();

  my $random_time = rand_time();

  my $random_datetime = rand_datetime();

  open(FILE, ">rand_image.png") or die $!;
  binmode(FILE);
  print FILE rand_image( bgcolor => [0, 0, 0] );
  close(FILE);
