PostgreSQL Query Catalog

Project on GitHub
Filter Queries

Found 1053 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.

642 Names of database objects with perhaps too many digits Find the names of database objects where more than half the signs are digits. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2025-11-07 10:11 MIT License View
643 Names of database objects with perhaps too many subcomponents (terms) "Names in software are 90 percent of what make software readable. You need to take the time to choose them wisely and keep them relevant. Names are too important to treat carelessly. Names should not cause confusion." (Robert C. Martin, Clean Code) The number of subcomponents (terms) should not be too big. Find the names (identifiers) of user-defined database objects that perhaps contain too many subcomponents, assuming, that the separator of the components is "_".

645 Names of indexes that do not contain the table name Find indexes that do not support a declarative constraint and that are perhaps badly named. Table names make the names more expressive and user-friendly. Problem detection system catalog base tables only 2025-11-07 10:11 MIT License View
646 Names of the columns of derived tables that have been given by the system Find columns of derived tables that name has been given by the system. The creators of the table should specify the name themselves to avoid ugly names and nasty surprises. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2025-11-07 10:11 MIT License View

651 Naming of declarative base table constraints Find the names of declarative base table constraints. Naming of constraints must be consistent. For instance, do not mix system-defined and user-defined names. General INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2025-11-07 10:11 MIT License View
652 Naming of tables Find the names of different types (base table, foreign table, view, materialized view) of tables. Naming of tables must be consistent.

656 Non-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 not Find 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.

657 Non-predefined character classes must not be between double square brackets Write 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]+$', not code~'^[[0-9]]+$'.

659 No point to have in a procedure COMMIT without ROLLBACK or vice versa If you end transaction in a procedure, then there should be a possibility to either commit or rollback the transaction based on some condition.
