621Routines that can be invoked with a variable number of argumentsFind routines with a VARIADIC parameter. These are routines that take as input an undefined number of arguments where the argument that is an undefined number are all of the same type and are the last input arguments.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-04 12:37MIT License
622Prefer Polymorphism to If/Else or Switch/CaseFind routines with IF/ELSE or SWITCH/CASE statements. If your routine has a multipart IF/CASE statement, then perhaps it has multiple tasks and it violates the separation of concerns and single responsibilities principles.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-29 13:31MIT License
623Prefer Polymorphism to If/Else or Switch/Case (2)Find routines with multiple raise exception commands. Perhaps it has multiple tasks and it violates the separation of concerns and single responsibilities principles.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-29 13:39MIT License
624Perhaps updating of modification time is missingFind routines with SQL-standard body that seem to update data in a table that has a column for modification time but the routine does not seem to update the modification time while updating the row and the table does not seem to have an UPDATE trigger that changes the modification time.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-23 11:55MIT License
625User-defined routines with the same parameters (same name and type) regardless of the order of parametersFind routines with the same parameters (same name and type) regardless of the order of parameters. Make sure that there is no accidental duplication. The query helps users to group together routines that probably have related tasks.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2020-11-06 14:51MIT License
626Perhaps a reference to the variable OLD is missingFind row level before delete triggers that only task is not to raise an exception and where the variable OLD is not used in the trigger routine outside the RETURN clause.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-12-21 19:29MIT License
627Perhaps a reference to the variable NEW is missingFind row level before insert and before update triggers that only task is not to raise an exception and where the variable NEW is not used in the trigger routine outside the RETURN clause.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-12-21 20:34MIT License
628ROW level BEFORE triggers that do not return a row if a check succeedsFind ROW level BEFORE triggers that check a condition based on other rows, raise an exception but do not return the row if the condition check succeeds, i.e., exception is not raised.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-16 12:41MIT License
629ROW level BEFORE UPDATE triggers that do not return the new rowFind row level BEFORE UPDATE triggers that do not return the new row version. Exclude triggers that raise WARNING/EXCEPTION.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2022-12-08 15:59MIT License
630Perhaps incorrect WHEN clauseFind row level triggers that have action condition (WHEN clause) but the Boolean expression in its specifications does not refer to neither NEW nor OLD variable.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-02-25 17:30MIT License
631Row level triggers that update or delete dataFind row level triggers that update or delete data.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-11 12:27MIT License
632Incorrect password hash updateFind 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 detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
633Rules with the same name in different schemasFind rule names that are used in a database in more than one schema. Different things should have different names. But here different rules have the same name. Also make sure that this is not a duplication.Generalsystem catalog base tables only2020-11-06 14:51MIT License
634Gratuitous context in the names of schema objectsFind schema objects that name starts with the schema name and then has at least one more symbol. "Shorter names are generally better than longer ones, so long as they are clear. Add no more context to a name than is necessary" (Robert C. Martin, Clean Code) Shema is a namespace. There cannot be in the same schema two schema objects that belong to the same name class and have the same name.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2024-12-21 17:30MIT License
635PUBLIC has the USAGE privilege of a schemaFind schemas where PUBLIC has the usage privilege.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-23 17:52MIT License
636Empty schemasFind schemas without schema objects.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2022-11-04 15:30MIT License
637All non-unique indexesFind secondary indexes that have been created in the database.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2020-12-23 11:50MIT License
638SECURITY INVOKER routines that access dataFind SECURITY INVOKER routines that read rows from a table, add rows to a table, update rows in a table, or delete rows from a table. Better to have for these purposes SECURITY DEFINER routines, which make it possible to give to the users privileges to only execute routines without having rights to access their underlying tables.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-04 10:44MIT License
639Potentially unused sequence generatorsFind sequence generators that are not associated with any column through the default value mechanism. Please note, that it is also possible to refer to a sequence generator from a routine or from an application. If these are indeed not used, then these should be dropped, otherwise these are dead code.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-03-07 20:56MIT License
640Sequences that are not owned by a table columnFind sequence generators that are not owned by a table column, i.e., if one drops the table or the column, then the sequence generator stays in place.Problem detectionsystem catalog base tables only2023-10-06 14:40MIT License
