IBEBLOCK and Test Data Generator

The following IBEBlock creates a table named IBE$TEST_DATA and populates it with random data.

execute ibeblock
returns (info varchar(100))
as

  RecNum = 10000;  

  if (exists (select rdb$relation_name from rdb$relations where rdb$relation_name = 'IBE$$TEST_DATA')) then

    execute statement 'drop table IBE$$TEST_DATA';
    commit;
  end
