1Case insensitive searchRefers 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).GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-10-25 16:55MIT License
2Case sensitive and case insensitive uniqueness of the same simple keyFind sets of columns that have both case sensitive and case insesitive unique constraints enforced based on these columns. In case of textual columns uniqueness could be checked either in case sensitive or case insensitive way. It is a contradiction to check the uniqueneness in both ways in case of the same key.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
3Database objects of the same type and case insensitive name in the same containerFind 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 clientProblem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-21 17:13MIT License
4Delimited identifiersDelimited identifiers (quoted identifiers) are case sensitive. Identifiers of database objects should be case insensitive in order to simplify their management.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-21 17:21MIT License
5Duplication of case insensitivity specification in a regular expressionFind regular expressions that use both case insensitive search operator ~* and case insensitivity modifier (?i).Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-04 12:49MIT License
6Function Upper or Lower is used in an index on a non-textual columnFind function-based indexes that are based on function Upper or Lower but have been defined on a non-textual column. Such indexes support case insensitive search but in case of non-textual columns this does not have a meaning.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2021-02-25 17:30MIT License
7Names of database objects that are fully uppercaseFull uppercase means screaming and it makes comprehending the names more difficult. Find the names (identifiers) of user-defined database objects that are fully uppercase. Because PostgreSQL stores regular identifiers lowercase in the system catalog it also means that these are delimited identifiers, i.e., these are case sensitive.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-21 17:27MIT License
8Names of database objects that mix snake_case and camelCase/PascalCaseUse consistent style of naming. Prefer snake_case. Regular identifiers are stored in the PostgreSQL system catalog in lowercase. Thus, if you use, for instance the identifier thisIsLongTableName, then, for instance,in the pg_dump result you will see the table name thisislongtablename. If the name in the system catalog is thisIsLongTableName, then it means that the name is a delimited identifier, i.e., case sensitive.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-21 16:35MIT License
9Partial or case insensitive unique indexesFind partial or case insensitive unique indexes. These implement uniqueness constraints that are impossible to enforce with the help of SQL's regular UNIQUE constraint.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2020-11-06 14:51MIT License
