761Unused indexes (2)Find indexes that are not used by the DBMS. Remember that indexes are not a "free lunch" and they slow down the processes of updating data.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-08-07 16:23MIT License
762Unused named input parametersFind named input parameters that are not referenced in the routine body. All the parameters that are presented in the routine signature declaration must be used in its body. Otherwise these are dead code elements.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-05 13:03MIT License
763Unused trigger functionsDo not keep in your database elements that are not needed by anybody. These should be put in use or dropped, otherwise these are dead code.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:29MIT License
764Updatable views that have not been turned to read onlyFind views that are theoretically updatable but do not have INSTEAD OF trigger or DO INSTEAD NOTHING rule to prevent data modifications through the view.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-10-29 10:20MIT License
765Update prevention may prevent legal updatesFind triggers that try prevent updating data in a certain column but prevent also certain legal updates - updates that write to a field a value that was in the field before the update.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2022-07-07 13:12MIT License
766Updating or deleting data in a routine without restricting rowsFind user-defined routines that contain UPDATE or DELETE statement but do not contain any WHERE clause, meaning that at least one UPDATE or DELETE operation influences all the rows of a table.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-29 13:21MIT License
767Usage of base tablesFind for each derived table the list of base tables that are used by the derived table.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-01-14 00:50MIT License

769Useless type indicationFind columns and parameters where the type of the identifier is perhaps explicitly indicated in the name.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-11-10 14:47MIT License

771User-defined derived tablesFind user-defined views and materialized views. Pay attention to the outer join operations. One should use these if and only if there is a real need for them. Otherwise they just reduce performance. On the other hand, pay attention that outer join is used where it is logically needed.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-12-11 15:23MIT License
772User-defined non-trigger routines without parametersFind user-defined non-trigger routines with no parameters.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-03 20:05MIT License
773User-defined non-trigger SQL and PL/pgSQL routinesFind the non-trigger SQL and PL/pgSQL routines in non-systemic schemas.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2024-12-19 10:54MIT License
774User-defined routine execution privilege has been granted to PUBLICYou should follow the principle of least privilege and thus not have in your database user-defined routines that execution privilege is granted to PUBLIC, i.e., to all the database users now and in the future. By default, PostgreSQL gives routine execution privileges to PUBLIC.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:30MIT License
775User-defined routines that have the same name as some system-defined routine.Avoid creating user-defined routines that have the same name as some system-defined routine because it may cause confusion.Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-02-25 17:30MIT License
776User-defined routines that implement UPSERT operationFind user-defioned routines that implement UPSERT operation. Make sure that it is consistent with the contracts of database operations.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-10-25 17:02MIT License
777User-defined routines that produce a temporary tableFind user user-defined routines that produce a temporary tableGeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-10-25 16:25MIT License
778User-defined routines that read dataFind user-defined routines that contain SELECT … FROM or PERFORM … FROM operations. PostgreSQL uses multiversion concurrency control (MVCC). Therefore, SELECTs do not block modifications and vice versa. One has to take steps to achieve correct behaviour of data access code. In addition, one should not ask data with multiple queries if it is possible to achieve the result with only one query.GeneralINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2023-12-21 15:00MIT License
779User-defined routines that use dynamic SQL to execute data manipulation statementsFind user-defined routines that use dynamic SQL to execute data manipulation statements (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE).Problem detectionINFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables2021-11-04 12:39MIT License
