AND
ANDQueries of this category use names (for instance, column names) to try to guess the meaning of a database object. Thus, the goodness of names determines the number of false positive and false negative results.

1Address field size is incorrect (too short or too long)Find base table columns that are meant for recording different types of addresses where the filed size does not take into account the possible maximum length.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2023-11-09 12:55MIT License
2Are the passwords hashed?Find base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register passwords. Return a value from each such column.

5Base 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
6Base 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
7Base 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
8Base 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
9Base table column of personal names has questionable propertiesFind base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register personal names. Although there are very long personal names the general approach is to register a shortened version of these. Thus, a large field size is not a good idea because it would cause usability and security problems. There are persons who only have one name (mononymous persons). Database design must take it into account.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2022-10-29 20:35MIT 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.

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 for storing username, password, and saltFind base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register usernames, passwords, and salt. Password should not be open text. It should be a hash value that has been hashed by using salt.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2020-11-06 14:51MIT License
17Base table columns permitting e-mail addresses without @ signFind non-foreign key base table columns that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register e-mail addresses. Find the columns that do not have any simple CHECK constraint that contains @ sign. A simple check constraint covers a single column.
