Find as to whether you sometimes use date_part function and sometimes extract function. These implement the same functionality.

Find as to whether you sometimes use regexp_like function and sometimes ~ operator. These implement the same functionality. regexp_like function that was added to PostgreSQL 15 and provides the same functionality as ~ and ~* operators. Try to be consistent.

Find base base tables have a simple unique index (not associated with a constraint) that contains the column with the (case insensitive) name id and an integer type. In addition, the key values are generated automatically by the system by using a sequence generator.

Find base base tables have the simple primary key that contains a column with the (case insensitive) name id and an integer type. In addition, the primary key values are generated automatically by the system by using a sequence generator. In addition the base table must not have any unique constraint.

Find base base tables have the simple primary key that contains the column with the (case insensitive) name id and an integer type. In addition, the primary key values are generated automatically by the system by using a sequence generator.

Find, based on column names, cases where a multi-valued attribute in a conceptual data model is implemented as a textual column of a base table or a foreign table. Expected values in the column are strings that contain attribute values, separated by commas or other separation characters.

Find, based on default values, cases where a multi-valued attribute in a conceptual data model is implemented as a textual column of a base table or a foreign table. Expected values in the column are strings that contain attribute values, separated by commas or other separation characters.

Find, based on the data that users have recoreded in a database, cases where a multi-valued attribute in a conceptual data model is implemented as a textual column of a base table. Expected values in the column are strings that contain attribute values, separated by commas or other separation characters.

Find base table and foreign table columns with the Boolean type that has a CHECK constraint that involves only this column. Avoid unnecessary CHECK constraints. The Boolean type contains only two values and there is nothing to check. By creating a check that determines that possible values in the column are TRUE and FALSE, one duplicates the attribute constraint (column has a type). This is a form of duplication.

Find base table and foreign table constraint names that are used in a database more than once (possibly in different schemas or in case of different types of constraints). Different things should have different names. But here different constraints have the same name. Also make sure that this is not a sign of duplication.

Find base table CHECK constraints that have been defined as NOT INHERITED but the constraint with the same Boolean expression has been defined in the immediate subtable of the table.

Find base table columns and domains that have a textual type and the default value that represents a truth-value. For instance, the type of a column could be VARCHAR and the column has the default value 'TRUE'.

Find base table columns and domains that have a textual type but the default value that represents a temporal value (either a static value or invocation of a function that returns such value). Specify for each column/domain a right data type that takes into account expected values in the column/domain.

Find base table columns in case of which the system can use TOAST technique (due to the data type of the column) and where the toasting strategy has been changed so that it is different than the default strategy determined by the type. Make sure that the new strategy is optimal.

Find base table columns in case of which the system can use TOAST technique (due to the data type of the column) and where the toasting strategy has been changed to plain. It means that potentially, if a value in the column is large enough, it is not possible to save the row.

Find base table columns that are according to the name meant for recording coordinates.

Find base table columns that are according to the name meant for recording geographic coordinate but do not have a suitable type (numeric or point).

Find base table columns that are covered by a primary key or a unique constraint and that probably have a static default value.

Find base table columns that based on the names and data types are meant for registering registration time or update time. Make sure that the columns have the same properties.

Find base table columns that belong to a primary key, unique, or foreign key constraint and that name refers to the possibility that these are used to hold surrogate key values. Find the columns where the data type of the column is not an integer type or uuid.
