1Base table columns with the same name and type have different field sizesFind base table columns that have the same name and type but different field size.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-03-28 16:59MIT License
2Base table columns with the same name have different typesFind 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 detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2023-01-14 20:54MIT License
3Base tables that have a unique constraint but not the primary keyA common style is to declare in each base table one of the candidate keys as the primary key. All the other candidate keys would be alternate keys that will be enforce with the help of UNIQUE + NOT NULL constraints.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-02-25 17:30MIT License

12Column name is the same as the table nameFind columns that have the same name as the table. The names may have different uppercase/lowercase characters. Sometimes columns with such names are used as the key columns. Make sure that the naming style is consistent.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-01-06 12:38MIT License

14Consistency of comments of routinesFind 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.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-04 10:56MIT License
15Consistency of using generic column names in candidate key columns that are not foreign key columnsFind the names on base table columns that are a part of a candidate key but not a foreign key and contain a generic word (nimi, nimetus, kommentaar, kirjeldus, name, comment, description, etc.). Make sure that naming of these is consistent, i.e., such names always contain the table name or never contain the table name.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-01-14 20:53MIT License
16Consistency of using generic column names in non-candidate key columns that are also not foreign key columnsFind the names on base table columns that are not a part of a candidate key and a foreign key and contain a generic word (nimi, nimetus, kommentaar, kirjeldus, name, comment, description, etc.). Make sure that naming of these is consistent, i.e., such names always contain the table name or never contain the table name.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-01-14 20:53MIT License
17Database object that do not belong to the public interface (virtual data layer) and that names contain the letters õäöüÕÄÖÜFind database object that do not 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 the naming style inconsistent with the naming style of elements that belong to the public interface. If applications access base tables directly, then the letters can cause the same problems as in case of derived tables, i.e., applications may have difficulties with such names.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:30MIT License
18Different prefixes of a candidate key column and a referencing foreign key columnThe naming must be consistent. Find foreign key constraints where the candidate key column and foreign key column names have different prefixes. Thus, for instance, one cannot use USING syntax for joining the tables.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
19Different suffixes of a candidate key column and a referencing foreign key columnThe naming must be consistent. Find foreign key constraints where the candidate key column and foreign key column names have different suffixes.

20Different ways how to find default timestamp valuesFind all the default values of base table, view, and foreign table columns that are expressions invoking a function that returns a timestamp. Do it only if there are different expressions, i.e., there could be possible inconsistencies.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2023-12-08 16:08MIT License
