PostgreSQL Query Catalog

Project on GitHub
Filter Queries

Found 205 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 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 View
2 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 View
3 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 View
4 Base table column name is the same as its domain name Find base table columns that have the same name as the domain name or the data type name of the column. The names may have different uppercase/lowercase characters. Columns, domains, and types are different concepts in SQL and perhaps it is better to use different names in case of these.

5 Base table columns with the same name have different types Find base table columns that have the same name but different type. In general, base tables columns that have the same name should have the same type as well. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA only 2023-01-14 20:54 MIT License View

16 Column names that make joining more difficult (foreign key column name contains the table name) Find foreign keys where the name of the foreign key column and the corresponding primary key/unique column is different but the difference comes from the fact that the foreign key column name starts or ends with the table name. Simplify writing queries that have to join data from multiple base tables. If the columns that participate in the join condition have the same name, then one can use the USING syntax.

17 Column names that make joining tables more difficult Find foreign keys where the name of the foreign key column and the corresponding primary key/unique column is different. Exclude foreign key columns that refer to the key of the same table because within each named table column names must be different. Simplify writing queries that have to join data from multiple base tables. If the columns that participate in the join condition have the same name, then one can use the USING syntax.

18 Column names that make joining tables more difficult (quite similar names) Find foreign keys where the name of the foreign key column and the corresponding primary key/unique column is different and the difference is between two and four characters. Exclude foreign key columns that refer to the key of the same table because within each named table column names must be different. Simplify writing queries that have to join data from multiple base tables. If the columns that participate in the join condition have the same name, then one can use the USING syntax.

19 Column names that make joining tables more difficult (very similar names) Find foreign keys where the name of the foreign key column and the corresponding primary key/unique column is different and the difference is one character. Exclude foreign key columns that refer to the key of the same table because within each named table column names must be different. Simplify writing queries that have to join data from multiple base tables. If the columns that participate in the join condition have the same name, then one can use the USING syntax.

20 Columns of derived tables that name has been given by the system Find columns of derived tables (i.e., views and materialized views) where in the creation statement of the table the name of the column has not been specified, i.e., it is generated by the system.
