azuresql-db-seed
Populates the local Azure SQL Database container's database (appdb) with realistic sample/test data so a developer has something to build against. Use when the user says "seed the database", "add test data", "populate the dev database", "generate sample data", "fake data", "load fixtures", "insert test rows", "write a seed script", or "bulk load a CSV". This is the Azure SQL engine (EngineEdition 5), not the mssql/server SQL Server image. Distinct from azuresql-db-scaffold (which does a single seed.sql step while bootstrapping an app) and azuresql-db-import (which loads a .bacpac). Reach for this whenever an existing appdb needs volume, fixtures, or believable rows.
