501Names of the password columnsFind names of columns of base tables, views, and materialized views that contain passwords. Make sure that the naming is consistent,GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2022-11-30 15:04MIT License
502Names of triggers and rules that do contain the table nameThe names should contain table name in order to make the names better understandable.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-01-13 19:23MIT License

504Name starts or ends with spacesFind the names of user-defined database objects (must be delimited identifiers) that start or end with spaces.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-21 16:45MIT License
505Naming of declarative base table constraintsFind the names of declarative base table constraints. Naming of constraints must be consistent. For instance, do not mix system-defined and user-defined names.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-17 20:11MIT License
506Naming of tablesFind the names of different types (base table, foreign table, view, materialized view) of tables. Naming of tables must be consistent. For instance, do not mix names in plural and singular form within the same table type.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-17 20:13MIT License
507No need to use to_date or to_timestamp functionFind expressions where a date literal with the ISO format is converted to date/timestamp by using to_date or to_timestamp function.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
508Non-foreign key base table columns with the same name have a different set of CHECK constraintsFind non-foreign key base table columns that have the same name but a different set of check constraints. The use of constraints should be consistent and all the necessary constraints must be enforced. "If you do something a certain way, do all similar things in the same way." (Robert C. Martin, Clean Code)Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-11-24 12:06MIT License
509Non-foreign key indexes that have been named as foreign key indexesFind indexes that are not on a foreign key column but the name of the index contains ixfk or idxfk.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-23 12:12MIT License
510Non-key and non-foreign key base table columns with the same name and type that have in some cases permit NULLs and in some cases notFind non-key and non-foreign key base table columns with the same name and type that in some cases permit NULLs and in some cases not. Be consistent. Make sure that this selection is consistent.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
511Non-predefined character classes must not be between double square bracketsWrite correct regular expressions. For instance, if there is a rule that code must consist of one or more digits, then correct expression is code~'^[0-9]+$', not code~'^[[0-9]]+$'.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-13 12:32MIT License
512Non-updatable views that have data modification privilegesBe precise and do not give impossible privileges.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
513Non-updatable views with DO INSTEAD NOTHING rulesFind non-updatable views that have a DO INSTEAD NOTHING rule. The rule is used to prevent updates. However, the view is aniway non-updatable.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-10-28 13:01MIT License
514No point to have in a procedure COMMIT without ROLLBACK or vice versaIf you end transaction in a procedure, then there should be a possibility to either commit or rollback the transaction based on some condition. Procedures appeared in PostgreSQL 11.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-04 12:00MIT License
515Not equals check in unstandardized wayFind user-defined routines that use != operator to test as to whether two values are not equal.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-12-13 14:16MIT License
516NOT IN or <> ALL in derived tablesAvoid using NOT IN or <>ALL with a non-correlated subquery in PostgreSQL because the query performance will be very poor, especially in case of large data sizes.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-24 13:50MIT License

518NOT NULL constraint is directly associated with a column instead of the domain of the columnFind mandatory (NOT NULL) base table columns that have been defined based on the same domain but the NOT NULL constraint is associated directly with the column not to the domain. PostgreSQL CREATE DOMAIN statement documentation points out that it is possible to add NULL's to columns that have a NOT NULL domain and thus suggests to associate NOT NULL constraints with a column instead of the domain. However, this is a non-standard behavior and defeats the idea of domain as a reusable asset. The scenarios where NULLs can appear in columns with a NOT NULL domain are quite exotic and probably cannot appear in production environments.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-10-20 15:34MIT License
519NOT NULL domainsFind domains with NOT NULL constraints and base table columns that have been defined based on the domain. PostgreSQL CREATE DOMAIN statement documentation points out that it is possible to add NULL's to columns that have a NOT NULL domain and thus suggests to associate NOT NULL constraints with a column instead of the domain. However, this is a non-standard behavior and defeats the idea of domain as a reusable asset.
