I have big database (more than 100 tables, more than 5GB)
Is there a possibility to generate related fixtures for testing from this database, just about 3-5 records per table (but with neeeded relations)

Better to use Factories than fixtures.
Check out factory girl
With factories you can create test records as and when required. They’ll automatically build the necessary related objects too.
So if you have Post with many Comments you just have to call
Factory(:create, :comment)which will create a valid Comment and it’s parent Post.
