| 1 | A getter does not return a value | Find 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"). | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-01-06 14:24 | MIT License | |
| 2 | All parameters with DEFAULT values | Find parameters of user-defined routines that have a default value. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-06 14:51 | MIT License | |

| 4 | AND takes precedence over OR | Make sure that Boolean expressions take into account precedence rules of Boolean operators. AND operator has precedence over OR operator. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-06 14:51 | MIT License | |
| 5 | A non-parameterized table function instead of a view | Find table functions that do not have any parameters. Prefer simpler and more portable solutions. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-03 21:16 | MIT License | |
| 6 | A predefine character class has been incorrectly specified | Find regular expressions where a predefined character class is incorrectly specified, e.g. [digit] instead of [:digit:]. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-11-23 12:09 | MIT License | |
| 7 | Are there enough routines that implement database operations? | Find user-defined routines that implement database operations (comment refers to an operation) but show these only if there are at least eight such routines. Contracts of database operations are specified in the system analysis documentation. The contracts apply the idea of design by contract in the field of databases. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-03 20:07 | MIT License | |
| 8 | A routine is invoked only once | Find user-defined routines that are invoked by exactly one user-defined routine. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-12-10 17:11 | MIT License | |
| 9 | A setter does not update a table | Find user-defined non-trigger SQL and PL/pgSQL routines that name starts with "set" (but not with "setting") but do not contain a UPDATE statement. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2022-11-27 18:35 | MIT License | |
| 10 | A table has the same name as a routine | Find table names that are the same as some routine name. Use different names to avoid confusion. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-02-25 17:30 | MIT License | |
| 11 | Case insensitive search | Refers to the column pg_proc.prokind and thus works starting from PostgreSQL 11. Find user-defined routines and derived tables (views/materialized views) that have a subquery with case insensitive search (by using the upper or lower function or ILIKE predicate or (?i) modifier of a regular expression pattern). | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-10-25 16:55 | MIT License | |
| 12 | Coalesce/Concat need at least two arguments | Find user-defined routines and derived tables (views/materialized views) that have a subquery that contain an invocation of Coalesce or Concat function with just one argument. You should use the Coalesce and Concat functions correctly by invoking these with at least two arguments. If one invokes these functions with one argument, then the functions will return the input value. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-12-08 11:49 | MIT License | |
| 13 | Comments of routines | Find comments of user-defined routines (functions or procedures) that are registered in the system catalog witht a COMMENT statement. Make sure that the comments give relevant, useful, and correct information. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-06 14:51 | MIT License | |
| 14 | Consistency of comments of routines | Find user-defined routines that have a comment registered by the COMMENT statement and a comment within the routine body. Make sure that there are no inconsistencies between the comments. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-04 10:56 | MIT License | |
| 15 | Coverage by routines that have the SQL-standard body | Find for each base table the list of routines (functions and procedures) that refer to the base table. If the database is used through the public database interface (virtual data layer), then, ideally, each table is referred from at least one routine. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-05 17:00 | MIT License | |
| 16 | Database objects of the same type and case insensitive name in the same container | Find database objects with the same type and case insensitive name in the same container. It can only happen if some of the names are case insensitive and others are case sensitive. For instance, the same schema can contain the table "Client" and client | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-03-17 10:13 | MIT License | |
| 17 | Database object that belong to the public interface (virtual data layer) and that names contain the letters õäöüÕÄÖÜ | Find database object that belong to the database public interface (virtual data layer - consists of routines and derived tables) and that names contain the letters õäöüÕÄÖÜ (Estonian letters with a diacritic). These letters belong to the Estonian alphabet but do not belong to the ASCII character set. Although permitted by the DBMS, such letters might make it more difficult to use the interface by other programs. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-02-25 17:30 | MIT License | |
| 18 | Derived table uses a function to get data from another table | Find views that use a function to get data from another table. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-11-24 14:36 | MIT License | |
| 19 | Deterministic (immutable) functions that do not have input parameters | Find deterministic functions that do not have any input parameters. Make sure that it is correct because in general a deterministic function must calculate a value based on input. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-11-09 19:53 | MIT License | |
| 20 | Deterministic (immutable) functions that do not return a value | Find deterministic (immutable) functions that do not return a value. This goes against the idea of deterministic functions. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-12-20 19:33 | MIT License | |
