1All enumerated typesFind all enumerated types.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2022-10-31 10:19MIT License
2All system-defined TOAST-able typesFind system-defined types in case of which the system can use the TOAST technique, i.e., save the value in a compressed form or store it in a automatically-created secondary table, which is hidden from the database user (TOAST table).Generalsystem catalog base tables only2020-11-06 14:51MIT License

4A state machine is implemented with the help of an enumeration typeFind implementations of state machines that uses an enumeration type.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-26 15:39MIT License
5At most one row is permitted in a table (based on enumeration types)Find base tables and foreign tables where based on the type of a column, a key constraint, and a NOT NULL constraint can be at most one row. Make sure that this is the real intent behind the constraint, not a mistake. Find tables where a column has an enumeration type with exactly one value, the column has NOT NULL constraint, and constitutes a key, i.e., has the PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2022-11-03 15:18MIT License
6Base table column of comments/descriptions has an incorrect data type or maximum character lengthFind base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register comments/descriptions. Find the columns where the data type is not VARCHAR and TEXT or in case of VARCHAR the maximum number of permitted characters is smaller than 1000. In case of determining field sizes choose a size that permits registration of all possible legal values.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2022-05-01 13:39MIT License
7Base table column of measurements does not have a correct data typeFind base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register measurement results. Find the columns that do not have an integer or numeric type.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
8Base table column of national identification numbers does not have a correct data typeFind non-textual base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register national identification numbers (personal codes). The codes can contain additional symbols to numbers.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
9Base table column of national identification numbers has a too short field sizeFind base table columns with VARCHAR type that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register national identification numbers (personal codes). Find the columns where the field size is shorter than 20.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
10Base table column of quantities does not have a numeric type (based on column names)Find base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register quantities of things. Find the columns that do not have a numeric type.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
11Base table column of sums of money does not have a numeric type (based on column names)Find base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register prices/sums of money. Find columns that do not have a numeric type.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-03-21 11:45MIT License
12Base table column of sums of money has too big or small scaleFind base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register data about prices/sums of money. Find the columns that have decimal type but have a too big (bigger than six) or a too small scale (zero). The selection of field size must be precise and should take into account the possible data in the column.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-03-21 11:45MIT License
13Base table column of surrogate key values does not have an integer data type (based on column names)Find base table columns that belong to a primary key, unique, or foreign key constraint and that name refers to the possibility that these are used to hold surrogate key values. Find the columns where the data type of the column is not an integer type or uuid.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-13 12:10MIT License
14Base table columns for recording geographic coordinates (based on column names)Find base table columns that are according to the name meant for recording coordinates.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-10-08 11:59MIT License
15Base table columns for recording geographic coordinates that do not have a suitable type (based on column names)Find base table columns that are according to the name meant for recording geographic coordinate but do not have a suitable type (numeric or point).Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-10-08 12:01MIT License
16Base table columns permitting empty strings and strings that consist of only whitespace charactersFind non-foreign key columns of base tables that have a textual type and do not have any simple CHECK constraint, i.e., a constraint that involves only one column. Such columns can contain the empty string and strings that consist of only whitespace.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
17Base table columns permitting temporal values that may be outside the range of logical valuesFind base tables columns with temporal types (date and timestamp) that do not belong to a foreign key and that do not have any associated simple CHECK constraints, i.e., constraint that involves only one column. For instance, in the column registration_time that does not have any associated CHECK constraints could be values '1200-01-01 00:00' or '5900-12-31 00:00'. Rows with these values most probably represent wrong propositions and the system should restrict registration of such data.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-12-17 00:40MIT License
18Base table columns where TOAST-ing strategy has been changed to plainFind base table columns in case of which the system can use TOAST technique (due to the data type of the column) and where the toasting strategy has been changed to plain. It means that potentially, if a value in the column is large enough, it is not possible to save the row.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
