## How to seed a database with millions of rows
You might want millions of project rows in your local database, for example,
in order to compare relative query performance, or to reproduce a bug. You could
do this by hand with SQL commands, but since you have ActiveRecord models, you
might find using these gems more convenient:
- [BulkInsert gem](https://github.com/jamis/bulk_insert)
- [ActiveRecord::PgGenerateSeries gem](https://github.com/ryu39/active_record-pg_generate_series)
