PostgreSQL Query Catalog

Project on GitHub
Filter Queries

Found 997 queries.

  • All the queries about database objects contain a subcondition to exclude from the result information about the system catalog.
  • Although the statements use SQL constructs (common table expressions; NOT in subqueries) that could cause performance problems in case of large datasets it shouldn't be a problem in case of relatively small amount of data, which is in the system catalog of a database.
  • Statistics about the catalog content and project home in GitHub that has additional information.

421 Inconsistent use of length and char_length functions Find as to whether both functions length and char_length are used in the database. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2023-11-10 14:38 MIT License View
422 Inconsistent use of older and newer join syntax in the subqueries of derived tables Find as to whether the subqueries of derived tables use both older join syntax (join condition in the where clause) and newer syntax (join condition in the from clause).

423 Inconsistent use of plural and singular in column names in the context of a relationship (English version) Find foreign key constraints that cover one column in case of which the name of refererenced/referencing column is in plural and the name of referencing/refererenced column is in singular.

424 Inconsistent use of plural and singular in table names in the context of a relationship (English version) Find foreign key constraints in case of which the name of one of the tables is in plural and the name of another table is in singular.

427 Incorrect characterization of a user-defined routine as an "immutable" routine Find immutable routines that contain SELECT statements from a database (including SELECT .. FOR UPDATE), INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or LOCK statement. The DBMS should get a correct background information about the behaviour of a routine. Immutable routines should not have side effects and should also not ask data from a database because it could change over time. Immutable routines cannot lock tables or its specific rows.

428 Incorrect characterization of a user-defined routine as a "stable" routine Find stable routines that contain INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT … FOR UPDATE, or LOCK statement. The DBMS should get a correct background information about the behaviour of a routine. Stable routines cannot modify data in a database, lock tables, or its specific rows.

429 Incorrect check of NULLs Find the use of =NULL and <>NULL in case of table level check constraints, domain level check constraints, WHEN clauses of triggers, WHERE clauses of rules, subqueries of derived tables, and bodies of routines. Write correct code. In order to determine as to whether a value is missing or not one has to use the IS [NOT] NULL predicate. NULL is the marker in SQL that denotes a missing value. Although it is often called "NULL value", one cannot treat it as an ordinary value, i.e., use it in comparisons as a value.

430 Incorrect comparison operator Find PL/pgSQL routines that use comparison operators =< or =>. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2023-12-11 14:50 MIT License View
431 Incorrect password hash update Find row level update triggers that incorrectly implement update of password hash. It should not be that the new password hash is calculated based on the existing hash. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2021-02-25 17:29 MIT License View
432 Incorrect prefix of a constraint name or an index name If the name of an object has the prefix that refers to the type of the object (for instance, primary key constraint or foreign key constraint), then you should use references to the correct object type. Find prefixes of constraint names and index names that incorrectly refer to the type of the object. For instance, incorrect would be to use chk_ as the prefix of an index name or pk_ as the prefix of a check constraint name.

433 Incorrect reference to a system-defined function in the routine body Find user-defined routines that possibly use incorrect name of a system-defined function (currenttimestamp (correct is current_timestamp), currentdate (correct is current_date), currenttime (correct is current_time), local_time (correct is localtime), local_timestamp (correct is localtimestamp),localdate (there is no such function),local_date (there is no such function), sessionuser (correct is session_user), ucase (correct is upper), lcase (correct is lower)). The problem can arise only if the routine uses dynamic SQL. In case of static SQL the DBMS checks the SQL statemen at the creation time and finds out that for instance, SELECT Count(*) AS cnt FROM Emp WHERE hiredate<=currentdate; is incorrect statement because currentdate is not a function name and there is no column currentdate in the table Emp.

434 Incorrect specification of logical or in regular expressions Find the use of regular expressions where logical or is incorrectly specified, i.e., (| or |). Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2023-11-24 12:07 MIT License View
435 Incorrect suffix of a constraint name or an index name If the name of an object has the suffix that refers to the type of the object (for instance, primary key constraint or foreign key constraint), then you should use references to the correct object type. Find suffixes of constraint names and index names that incorrectly refer to the type of the object. For instance, incorrect would be to use _chk as the suffix of an index name or _pk as the suffix of a check constraint name.

436 INFORMATION_SCHEMA is missing Make sure that you do not drop INFORMATION_SCHEMA schema. In this case most of the design checking queries will not work.

439 Input parameters with the same name have different types Find named input parameters of routines that have the same name but different type. It could be a mistake or deliberate due to overloading of routines. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2024-01-24 15:01 MIT License View
440 Insufficient number of user-defined non-trigger routines There must be at least n (four in this case) user-defined non-trigger routines in the database. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2021-02-25 17:30 MIT License View
