Found 1053 queries.
- All the queries about database objects contain a subcondition to exclude from the result information about the system catalog.
- Although the statements use SQL constructs (common table expressions; NOT in subqueries) that could cause performance problems in case of large datasets it shouldn't be a problem in case of relatively small amount of data, which is in the system catalog of a database.
- Statistics about the catalog content and project home in GitHub that has additional information.
#1. Age columns in base and foreign tables
INFORMATION_SCHEMA onlyThis query identifies columns in base and foreign tables that are intended to store age values. It detects these fields by analyzing both their naming conventions and data types.
#2. A getter does not return a value
INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tablesFind user-defined SQL and PL/pgSQL routines that do not return a value although the name suggest that it should return a value (starts with "get").
#3. A large number of triggers
INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tablesShow user-defined triggers if there are more than 9 different trigger routine bodies, i.e., different triggers on different tables that do the same thing count as one trigger.
#4. All-caps comments on derived tables and routines
INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tablesThis query identifies comments on derived tables (views) and routines that are 50 characters or longer and written entirely in uppercase letters. Writing long comments exclusively in capital letters should be avoided, as it significantly reduces readability and is generally perceived as shouting in digital communication.
#5. All CHECK constraints of domains that are not associated with any table
INFORMATION_SCHEMA onlyFind all CHECK constraints (except NOT NULL) of domains that are not associated with any column.
#6. All clustered indexes
system catalog base tables onlyFind all tables that rows have been physically sorted based on an index.
#7. All column DEFAULT values
INFORMATION_SCHEMA onlyFind all the default values of base table, view, and foreign table columns.
#8. All column dynamic DEFAULT values values that do not invoke a sequence
INFORMATION_SCHEMA onlyFind all columns that have a dynamic default value, i.e., the value is returned by a function but the function is not for invoking a sequence.
#9. All columns of a base table have a default value
INFORMATION_SCHEMA onlyFind base tables where all the columns have a default value.
#10. All column static DEFAULT values
INFORMATION_SCHEMA onlyFind all columns that have a static default value, i.e., the value is not returned by a function.
#11. All covering indexes
INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tablesFind all covering indexes, which include data from additional columns in leaf blocks.
#12. All database privileges
system catalog base tables onlyFind the privileges to use the database. c - CONNECT; C - CREATE; T - TEMPORARY.
#13. All declaratively partitioned tables
INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tablesFind partitioned tables that have been implemented by using the declarative approach. Declarative partitioning is implemented in PostgreSQL starting from PostgreSQL 10.
#14. All derived tables that use joining tables
INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tablesThis query identifies complex derived tables (views and materialized views) that perform data integration operations. Specifically, it filters for views whose definition involves joining two or more distinct tables. This distinguishes non-trivial views—which encapsulate relationship logic and data aggregation—from simple projection views that merely mirror a single base table. The result highlights the core reporting and data integration layer of the schema.
#15. All domain default values
INFORMATION_SCHEMA onlyFind domains that specify a default values and columns that are defined based on the domain. Make sure that there are no unsuitable default values.
#17. All enumerated types
INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tablesFind all enumerated types.
#18. All event triggers
system catalog base tables onlyFind event triggers, which are not associated to a specific schema object.
#19. All exclude constraints
system catalog base tables onlyFind all exclude constraints.
#20. All foreign key constraints
system catalog base tables onlyEnforce referential integrity in database. Find all referential integrity (foreign key) constraints.
