| 721 | Recursive triggers that directly modify their home table | Do not cause potentially infinite loops. Recursive trigger fire themselves over and over again. If the system is not able to stop these, then it eventually consumes all the resources of the system. Although the system is able to detect these it is better to avoid creating these altogether. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-02-25 17:30 | MIT License | |
| 722 | Redundant indexes | Find indexes that may be redundant. In addition to identical indexes it also considers indexes that cover the same columns and have the same properties except uniqueness. The query considers all types of indexes, including indexes that have been automatically created to support a constraint and function-based indexes. | Problem detection | system catalog base tables only | 2021-02-25 17:29 | MIT License | |
| 723 | Reference to the numeric type is too imprecise, i.e., precision and scale are missing | Find base table columns that have the DECIMAL/NUMERIC type, but do not have precision and scale specified. "Specifying: NUMERIC without any precision or scale creates a column in which numeric values of any precision and scale can be stored, up to the implementation limit on precision. A column of this kind will not coerce input values to any particular scale, whereas numeric columns with a declared scale will coerce input values to that scale." | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-02-25 17:30 | MIT License | |
| 724 | Referential degree of a schema | Referential degree of a schema is defined as the number of foreign keys in the database schema. | Sofware measure | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2020-11-13 11:30 | MIT License | |
| 725 | Referential degree of tables | This metric represents the number of foreign keys in a base table. | Sofware measure | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-03-12 11:07 | MIT License | |
| 726 | Referential degree of tables (ver 2) | Find how many base tables are referenced from a base table by using foreign keys. | Sofware measure | system catalog base tables only | 2021-03-12 11:06 | MIT License | |
| 727 | Registration/modification time is not automatically set | Find columns of base tables that name and type suggest that the column should contain the row registration time or last modify time but the column does not have a default value. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-03-28 17:36 | MIT License | |
| 728 | Registration/modification time is not mandatory | Find columns that contain registration or modification time but are optional. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2023-11-26 16:51 | MIT License | |
| 729 | Regular expression with possibly a LIKE pattern | Find expressions that use a regular expression with a like predicate pattern. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-10-21 11:11 | MIT License | |
| 730 | Routine body has keywords that are not in uppercase | Keywords in uppercase improve readability. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-12-24 17:06 | MIT License | |
| 731 | Routine body only in uppercase | Uppercase means screaming and having code entirely in uppercase makes its reading more difficult. On the other hand, it would be a good idea to have keywords in uppercase. Find routines that body contains a SQL data manipulation statement (which shouldn't be entirely in uppercase) but still the body is completely in uppercase. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-04 20:12 | MIT License | |
| 732 | Routine body with ordering the query result based on positional references | Find routines where the query result is sorted based on the column number in the SELECT clause. Such query is sensitive towards changing the order of columns in the SELECT clause, i.e., if one changes the order of columns in the SELECT clause, then one must change the numbers in the ORDER BY clause as well, otherwise the query will produce undesired order of rows. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-10-31 15:23 | MIT License | |
| 733 | Routine for reading data uses another routine to read some data | Find routines that only read data but invoke some other routine to read some more data. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-12-10 17:10 | MIT License | |
| 734 | Routines that can be invoked with a variable number of arguments | Find 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. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-04 12:37 | MIT License | |
| 735 | Routines that use old syntax for limiting rows | Find PL/pgSQL routines and SQL routines that do not have SQL-standard body that use unstandardized LIMIT clause instead of standardized FETCH FIRST n ROWS clause. The query excludes routines that are a part of an extension. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-10-29 11:34 | MIT License | |
| 736 | Routines with BOOLEAN return type that do not have a good name | The prefic of the name should be "is_" or "has_" or "can_" (in English) or "on_" (in Estonian). Worse: check_rights. Better: has_rights. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2024-12-27 11:12 | MIT License | |
| 737 | Routines with INSERT statements that are sensitive towards the order of columns | INSERT statements shouldn't be sensitive towards the order of columns. If one changes the order of columns in a table then these statements must be rewritten. Otherwise the code will not work or works incorrectly. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-04 16:15 | MIT License | |
| 738 | Routines without an action | Find routines that body does not contain any action. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-11-05 12:14 | MIT License | |
| 739 | Routines with the same name and parameters in different schemas | Find user-defined routines with the same name and parameters (including the order of parameters) in different schemas. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-10-25 16:11 | MIT License | |
| 740 | Routines with type casting | Make sure that your parameters have appropriate types in order to avoid unnecessary type casting. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2024-12-19 11:02 | MIT License | |
