| 201 | Using an internal data type - name | Find base table columns that use type name that is used in system catalog tables. It is not a problem if the column is meant for recording identifiers of database objects. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-03-30 13:36 | MIT License | |
| 202 | Views with the WITH LOCAL CHECK OPTION constraint | Find updatable views that have WITH LOCAL CHECK OPTION constraint. The predicate of a view is the conjunction of the predicates of its (directly and indirectly) underlying tables (both base tables and derived tables) as well as the predicate of the view itself. In case of using WITH LOCAL CHECK OPTION constraint "New rows are only checked against the conditions defined directly in the view itself. Any conditions defined on underlying base views are not checked (unless they also specify the CHECK OPTION)." (PostgreSQL manual) Thus, use instead WITH CASCADED CHECK option to instruct the system to check new rows against the entire predicate of the view. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-02-25 17:30 | MIT License | |
| 203 | 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 | |
| 204 | A large number of triggers | Show user-defined triggers if there are more than 9 different trigger routine bodies, i.e., different triggers on different tables that do the same thing count as one trigger. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-12-25 11:23 | MIT License | |
| 205 | All covering indexes | Find all covering indexes, which include data from additional columns in leaf blocks. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-12-23 11:54 | MIT License | |
| 206 | All declaratively partitioned tables | Find partitioned tables that have been implemented by using the declarative approach. Declarative partitioning is implemented in PostgreSQL starting from PostgreSQL 10. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-06 15:13 | MIT License | |
| 207 | All enumerated types | Find all enumerated types. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2022-10-31 10:19 | MIT License | |
| 208 | All gin indexes | Find indexes with less common access methods. Gin indexes are, for instance, used to speed up PostgreSQL's built in full text search. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-06 14:51 | MIT License | |
| 209 | All non-unique indexes | Find secondary indexes that have been created in the database. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-12-23 11:50 | MIT License | |
| 210 | All parameters with DEFAULT values | Find parameters of user-defined routines that have a default value. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-06 14:51 | MIT License | |
| 211 | All partial indexes | Find indexes to a subset of table rows. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-06 14:51 | MIT License | |
| 212 | All sequence generators | Find all sequence generators. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-06 14:51 | MIT License | |
| 213 | All short cycles (tables) | Find pairs of tables that have both a foreign key that references to the other table. Such cycles can involve more than two tables but the query detects only cycles with two tables. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-27 20:54 | MIT License | |
| 214 | All table functions | Find all functions that return a set of rows. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-10-29 11:39 | MIT License | |
| 215 | All unique keys have at least one optional column | Find base tables where all unique keys (sets of columns covered by a unique constraint, or a unique index) have at least one optional column. In this case there can be rows in the table where the values that should identify the row are missing. Because NULL is not a value and is not duplicate of another NULL the, follwing is possible: CREATE TABLE Uniq(a INTEGER NOT NULL, b INTEGER, CONSTRAINT ak_uniq UNIQUE (a, b)); INSERT INTO Uniq(a, b) VALUES (1, NULL); INSERT INTO Uniq(a, b) VALUES (1, NULL); | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-10-21 11:54 | MIT License | |
| 216 | All user triggers that are associated with tables | Find user-defined triggers that react to data modifications in tables. Triggers should be used only for the tasks that cannot be achieved in a declarative manner, i.e., by declaring a constraint. Triggers of the same table with the same event_manipulation, action_timing, and action_orientation are sorted based on the trigger name. This is the order of execution of triggers. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-01-19 11:27 | MIT License | |
| 217 | AND takes precedence over OR | Make sure that Boolean expressions take into account precedence rules of Boolean operators. AND operator has precedence over OR operator. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-06 14:51 | MIT License | |
| 218 | A non-parameterized table function instead of a view | Find table functions that do not have any parameters. Prefer simpler and more portable solutions. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-03 21:16 | MIT License | |
| 219 | A predefine character class has been incorrectly specified | Find regular expressions where a predefined character class is incorrectly specified, e.g. [digit] instead of [:digit:]. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-11-23 12:09 | MIT License | |
| 220 | Are 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. Make sure that the password is not registered as open text. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2020-11-10 12:14 | MIT License |
