721The number and percentage of optinal columns in base tablesFind the number and percentage of optinal columns in base tablesSofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2020-11-08 21:17MIT License
722The number of base table columns based on data typeFind the number of base table columns based on data type.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2020-11-19 15:30MIT License
723The number of base table columns by type categoryFind the number of base table columns based on the category of data type that the columns have.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-03-20 12:27MIT License
724The proportion of using different integer types as types of base table columnsFind the number of base table columns that use different integer types (SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT) and their proportion from the overall set of columns that use an integer type.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-03-03 12:41MIT License
725Number of tables covered by derived tablesFind the number of base tables, the number of base tables that are referred from at least one derived table (view or materialized view), the number of base tables that are referred from at least one view, and the number of base tables that are referred from at least one materialized view. If the database is used through the public database interface (virtual data layer), then, ideally, each table is referred from the subquery of at least one derived table.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-11 09:33MIT License
726The number of commented routinesFind the number of commented routines based on the way how the comments have been added (as a COMMENT object or as a comment in the routine body).Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-01-14 20:49MIT License
727The number of compensating actions of foreign key constraintsFind the number of compensating actions that are specified in case of foreign key constraints.Sofware measuresystem catalog base tables only2020-11-16 10:11MIT License
728The number of constraints by schema, by type, and in totalFind the number of constraints in different schemas. The number of constraints in a database gives an indication about the state of enforcing constraints at the database level.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2020-11-06 14:51MIT License
729The number of derived table columns with an array, a user-defined, XML, JSON, or JSONB typeFind the number of derived table columns with json, xml, array, or user-defined types. Such columns may contain data that has been aggregated/composed based on values in base tables.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-01-14 20:22MIT License
730Number of derived tables that aggregate dataFind the number of derived tables that aggregate data.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-01-14 12:33MIT License
731Different character maximum lengths that are used to define textual base table columnsFind the number of different character maximum lengths that are used to define textual base table columns as well as list all the different lengths. Show also the total number of columns with char/varchar type. Maximum character length constrains values in a column. Thus, in case there is a small number of used lengths, it raises a question as to whether the lengths have been optimally selected.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2021-03-26 11:24MIT License
732Different data types that are used to define base table columnsFind the number of different data types that are used to define base table columns as well as list all the different types. Data type constrains values in a column. Thus, in case there is a small number of used types, it raises a question as to whether the types have been optimally selected.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2020-11-27 10:40MIT License
733The number of schema objects by schema, by type, and in totalFind the number of different types of schema objects in different schemas as well as the total number of schema objects. Show the number of objects that belong to an extension as well as the number of (user-defined) objects that do not belong to an extension.Sofware measuresystem catalog base tables only2020-11-06 14:51MIT License
734The number of direct and indirect child tables (foreign keys)Find the number of direct and all (direct+indirect) child tables of a base table based on the foreign keys. The result may help to classify the data. If the number of direct children is small but the number of all children is large, then the table probably contains classifiers. If both the number of direct and all children is large, then the table probably contains master data. If the number of all children is small, then the table probably contains transactional data, logs, or descriptive information of main entities.Sofware measuresystem catalog base tables only2020-11-14 16:10MIT License
735The number of direct and indirect child tables (table inheritance)Find the number of direct and all (direct+indirect) child tables of a base table based on the table inheritance.Sofware measuresystem catalog base tables only2020-11-14 19:59MIT License
736Consistency of using NOT NULL constraints on Boolean base table columnsFind the number of mandatory and optional Boolean base table columns and the proportion of optional columns from all the Boolean columns. Use two-valued logic (TRUE, FALSE) instead of three-valued logic (TRUE, FALSE, UNKNOWN). Because NULL in a Boolean column means unknown make all the Boolean columns mandatory.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA only2020-12-28 01:43MIT License
737Names of database objects that perhaps end with a sequence number (aggregate view)Find the number of names (identifiers) of user-defined database objects that end with one or more digit. Names should be informative. Duplicates should be avoided. Digits in names are a possible sign of duplication of database objects or unclear names.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-21 16:33MIT License
738The number of names that use different writing stylesFind the number of names of user-defined database objects that use snake_case, ALL CAPS, Sentence case, camelCase or PascalCase style. Make sure that the naming style is consistent.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-21 17:22MIT License
739Inconsistent use of gratuitous context in the names of non-foreign key and non-candidate key columnsFind the number of names on base table columns that are not a part of a candidate key and a foreign key and that contain the name of the table. Find the number of names on base table columns that are not a part of a candidate key and a foreign key and that do not contain the name of the table. Make sure that table name is used consistently in the column names.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-10-26 20:25MIT License
740The number of user-defined routines based on their database usageFind the number of non-extension routines in a database that modify data. The routines can be used to implement virtual data layer. Thus the queriy gives some indications about the possible extent of the layer. The query distinguishes trigger and non-trigger routines, thus it also gives information about triggers that modify data.Sofware measureINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-01-15 00:38MIT License
