  • 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.

1041 Too generic names (columns) (aggregate view)(2) This query calculates the total cardinality of semantically weak column identifiers across the entire schema, encompassing both base tables and views. It applies a uniform definition of "generic" (e.g., flagging identifiers like id, type, date) regardless of the underlying object type. By treating table and view columns equivalently, the query provides a holistic metric of naming ambiguity, quantifying the overall prevalence of non-descriptive attributes within the database's public interface.
