421 | 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 | |
422 | Incorrect data type (based on default values) | Find columns of base tables that have the default value CURRENT_USER or SESSION_USER but the data type is CHAR or TEXT. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2023-12-30 11:06 | MIT License | |
423 | Incorrect field size (based on default values) | Find columns of base tables that have the default value CURRENT_USER or SESSION_USER but the field size is not 63 (default maximum identifier length in PostgreSQL). | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2023-12-30 11:05 | MIT License | |
424 | 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 | |
425 | 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. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2024-12-28 10:48 | MIT License | |
426 | Incorrect prevention of the empty string or strings that consist of only spaces in a field | Find columns of base tables and foreign tables where the requirement that there should not be empty strings or strings that consist of only spaces in the column has been implemented incorrectly - by using the constraint trim(column_name) IS NOT NULL. PostgreSQL (differently from Oracle) does not replace the empty string with NULL. Empty string is a value but NULL is a special marker that denotes a missing value. Thus, in case of such constraint the DBMS checks a proposition '' IS NOT NULL. This is a true proposition and the DBMS does not prevent registration of such a row. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-02-25 17:29 | MIT License | |
427 | 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. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-10-25 16:48 | MIT License | |
428 | 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 | |
429 | 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. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2024-12-28 10:44 | MIT License | |
430 | Incorrect use of non-deterministic functions in CHECK constraints | Do not create a constraint in case of which data that satisfied a constraint c at the registration time suddenly does not satisfy it any more as the time goes by. Find all the check constraints that use non-deterministic functions (now, current_timestamp, localtimestamp, current_date, current_time) in a way that makes this situation possible. Fort instance, localtimestamp(0)>end_date is an example of such constraint. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2024-11-22 15:29 | MIT License | |
431 | Index FILLFACTOR is not default | Find all indexes where FILLFACTOR is not default, i.e., it has been changed. The default is different in case of different index types is different. In case of B-tree indexes the default is 90. | General | system catalog base tables only | 2024-11-21 09:28 | MIT License | |
432 | 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. This schema automatically exists in all databases. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2022-12-07 19:07 | MIT License | |
433 | Initially deferred constraint triggers with unnecessary locking | Initially deferred constraint triggers do not need explicit statements for locking tables or rows. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-10-08 11:25 | MIT License | |
434 | Input parameters that names do not follow the convention to start with _ or p_ | For the sake of making code better understandable follow naming conventions. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-02-25 17:30 | MIT License | |
435 | 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 | |
436 | Installed extensions | Try to use as much the possibilities of the DBMS as possible. On the other hand, do not install extensions that are not needed in order not to overcomplicate the database. | General | system catalog base tables only | 2020-11-06 14:51 | MIT License | |
437 | Insufficient number of user-defined base tables | There must be at least n (seven in this case) user-defined base tables in the database. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-02-25 17:30 | MIT License | |
438 | Insufficient number of user-defined domains | There must be at least n (one in this case) user-defined domains in the database each of that must be used in case of at least two columns of base tables. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-02-25 17:30 | MIT License | |
439 | Insufficient number of user-defined foreign tables | There must be at least n (two in this case) user-defined foreign tables in the database. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-02-25 17:30 | MIT License | |
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 |
