| 841 | Perhaps the precision in case of a base table column with NUMERIC/DECIMAL type is too small | Make sure that in case of using the type DECIMAL/NUMERIC as the type of a base table column the precision (the permitted number of digits in the number) is not too small. For instance, the biggest value in the type NUMERIC(1,1) is 0.9. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only | 2021-02-25 17:29 | MIT License | |
| 842 | Overloading | Make sure that there is genuine overloading instead of duplication or dead code. "In some programming languages, function overloading or method overloading is the ability to create multiple functions of the same name with different implementations." (Wikipedia) In PostgreSQL one can do it automagically by having multiple routines with the same name but different parameters in the same schema. | General | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2021-12-20 11:40 | MIT License | |

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) Names should be expressive. Different objects should have different names. The smaller the percentage the less descriptive are the names in the database. Find the number of different names (identifiers) of user-defined database objects by the object type and compare it with the total number of database objects with this type. The values could be used to compare different databases. | Sofware measure | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-03-16 15:38 | MIT License | |

| 856 | Using unreserved (in PostgreSQL) SQL keywords as the names of a database object (aggregate view) | "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) Names should not cause confusion. Find the distinct names (identifiers) of user-defined objects that are SQL keywords that are completely unreserved in PostgreSQL. In PostgreSQL "there are several different classes of tokens ranging from those that can never be used as an identifier to those that have absolutely no special status in the parser as compared to an ordinary identifier. " (PostgreSQL manual) Although the names are unreserved keywords in PostgreSQL these could be reserved keywords in other systems, which would complicate database migration. Moreover, such identifiers are often too general, i.e., do not provide enough information about the named object. | Problem detection | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables | 2023-03-17 11:18 | MIT License | |
