auto-populate data, as in putting in mock data depending on column type? or transferring data from another data source. If the former, you can look at 3rd party sources (I think I saw one from winSQL), if the latter you can convert any data source to a (tab, comma, etc.) delimeted file which you can load into MySQL through your own PHP script or I'm sure there is some php script out there that loads in CVS files.
