301Double negatives in regular expressionsFing regular expression patterns that use [^\S] instead of \s or [^\D] instead of \d or [^\W] instead of \w.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-09 12:01MIT License
302LIKE instead of =Find expressions that use LIKE predicate for precise comparison.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-09 10:43MIT License
303Perhaps incorrect check of permitted timestamp valuesFind base table columns with a timestamp type and a simple check constraint that checks as to whether the timestamp values are within an appropriate range of values. Find constraints where the check of the upper bound of the range is perhaps incorrect.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-09 10:27MIT License
304Temporal function in a simple check constraint is inconsistent with the column typeFind base table columns with a check constraint that refers to a temporal function (current_timestamp, localtimestamp, current_date, or now) that return type is inconsistent with the data type of the column.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-08 21:43MIT License
305Perhaps checking of file extension is incorrectFind check constraints of tables that use a regular expression to check as to whether a registered string ends with an appropriate file extension. However, the expression does not put the dot sign into the square brackets nor does have the escape character \before it, i.e., it is interpreted as a single character not as the dot sign in the expression. In regular expressions the dot (.) matches any single character except the newline character.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2023-11-08 15:29MIT License
306Column names that make joining tables more difficultFind foreign keys where the name of the foreign key column and the corresponding primary key/unique column is different. Exclude foreign key columns that refer to the key of the same table because within each named table column names must be different. Simplify writing queries that have to join data from multiple base tables. If the columns that participate in the join condition have the same name, then one can use the USING syntax.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2023-11-08 13:56MIT License
307Column names that make joining tables more difficult (quite similar names)Find foreign keys where the name of the foreign key column and the corresponding primary key/unique column is different and the difference is between two and four characters. Exclude foreign key columns that refer to the key of the same table because within each named table column names must be different. Simplify writing queries that have to join data from multiple base tables. If the columns that participate in the join condition have the same name, then one can use the USING syntax.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2023-11-08 13:56MIT License
308Column names that make joining tables more difficult (very similar names)Find foreign keys where the name of the foreign key column and the corresponding primary key/unique column is different and the difference is one character. Exclude foreign key columns that refer to the key of the same table because within each named table column names must be different. Simplify writing queries that have to join data from multiple base tables. If the columns that participate in the join condition have the same name, then one can use the USING syntax.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2023-11-08 13:56MIT License
309Perhaps the type of a base table column should be an integer type (based on column names)Find columns of base tables where the name of the column has prefix or suffix "id" or has the name "id" but the column does not have an integer type or uuid type. A convention is to use the phrase "id" in the names of surrogate key columns.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2023-11-08 13:31MIT License
310Textual columns that have a secondary index but the operator class for the column does not support pattern matchingFind indexed textual columns where the indexing does not consider the possibility of pattern-based search. Such columns do not have an index where the used operator class makes the index suitable for use by queries involving pattern matching expressions.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-07 11:52MIT License
311Tsvector values are not automatically calculatedFind base table columns with tsvector type in case of which it is not a generated column nor does the table has an associated trigger to calculate the tsvector value automatically.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-07 11:45MIT License
312Inconsistent means to calculate tsvector valuesFind as to whether in the database there are multiple ways to calculate tsvector values, i.e., by using a generated column and by not using a generated column.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2023-11-07 11:35MIT License
313Multiple triggers that update tsvector valuesFind base tables that have multiple triggers to update tsvector values.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2023-11-07 10:14MIT License
314Triggers that are used to calculate tsvector values react to a wrong set of eventsFind triggers on base tables that are used to calculate tsvector values that react to a wrong set of events, i.e., react to the DELETE event or do not react to the INSERT and UPDATE events.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2023-11-07 10:14MIT License
315Full text search columns that have no gin or gist indexFind columns of base tabels and materialized views with the type tsvector that do not have a gin or a gist index. These are the preferred index types for text search.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-07 09:22MIT License
316Full text search columns with other type of index than gin or gist indexFind columns of base tabels and materialized views with the type tsvector that do not have a gin or a gist index but have another type of index (e.g., b-tree). Gin and Gist are the preferred index types for text search.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-07 09:22MIT License
317Exclude constraint to prevent overlapping time periodsFind exclude constraints on base tables with multiple date/timestamp columns that prevent overlapping time periods.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-07 00:44MIT License
318Base tables and materialized views without any indexFind base tables and materialized views that do not have any index.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-05 19:39MIT License
319Stating the obvious (column names)Find the names of columns where the name of the column contains a part of the name of the data type of the column. For instance, the query finds columns, were the name contains fragments integer_ or _integer.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2023-11-04 15:19MIT License
320Inconsistent time zone and precision usage in case of registering timesFind as to whether different data types (with and without timezone) and precisions are used in case of registering times in different columns.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2023-11-04 12:30MIT License
