Association rules discovery has emerged as a very important problem in knowledge discovery in database and data mining. A number of algorithms is presented to mine association rules. There are many factors that affect the efficiency of rules mining algorithms, such as largeness, denances, and sparseness of databases used to be mined, in addition to number of items, number and average sizes of transactions, number and average sizes of frequent itemscts, and number and average sizes of potentially maximal itemsets. It is impossible to change present realworld catabase's characteristics to fairly test and determine the best and wurst cases of rule-mining algorithms. to be efficiently used for present and future databases. So the researchers attend to construct artificial database to qualitative and quantitative presence of the above mentioned factors to test the efficiency of rule mining algorithms and programs. The construction of such databases CATmes very large amount of the and efforts. This resent presents a software system, generator, to construct artificial databases.
