PostgreSQL Query Catalog

Project on GitHub
Filter Queries

Found 997 queries.

  • 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.

121 Inconsistent referencing to character classes (digits) Find as to whether different syntaxes (e.g., 0-9 vs [[:digit:]] or \d) are used to refer to the character class of digits within the same database.

122 Inconsistent referencing to character classes (shorthand vs long name) Find as to whether different syntaxes (e.g., \s vs [[:space:]]) are used to refer to character classes within the same database.

123 Inconsistent referencing to character classes (shorthand vs long name) (2) Find as to whether different syntaxes (e.g., \w vs [[:alnum:]]) are used to refer to alphanumeric characters within the database.

124 Cycles in relationships Find as to whether foreign key constraints between tables form a cycle. For instance, if table C refers to table B, table B refers to table A, table A refers to table C and all the foreign key columns are mandatory, then one cannot add data to the tables. Is cycle value in the result should not contain value TRUE. One should check manually as to whether the foreign key columns are mandatory or optional.

125 Perhaps an inconsistent use of NO ACTION and RESTRICT in the foreign key declarations Find as to whether in case of foreign key constraints both the compensating actions RESTRICT and NO ACTION are used within the same database. If the same thing has to do in different places, then try to do it in the same way. Problem detection system catalog base tables only 2021-02-25 17:29 MIT License View
126 Inconsistent means to calculate tsvector values Find as to whether in the database there are multiple ways to calculate tsvector values, i.e., by using a generated column and by not using a generated column. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA only 2023-11-07 11:35 MIT License View
127 Perhaps inconsistent use of temporal functions (2) Find as to whether in the same database more than one of these functions is used at the same time - now(), localtimestamp, current_timestamp. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2024-12-12 00:20 MIT License View
128 Inconsistent use of casting syntax in routines Find as to whether PL/pgSQL routines and SQL routines that do not have SQL-standard body use different syntax for casting (cast function vs :: operator).

130 Inconsistent referencing to character classes Find as to whether regular expressions use inconsistently references to character classes: [^\s], [^\d], [^\w], [^[:space:]], [^[:digit:]], [^[:word:]] vs [^\S], [^\D], [^\W].

131 Inconsistent naming of columns with BOOLEAN type Find as to whether some columns with the type Boolean start with a prefix ("is", "has", "can", "on") and some do not. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog base tables 2024-01-03 09:54 MIT License View
132 Database can be accessed through PUBLIC privileges Find as to whether the database access by users (applications) can take place thanks to PUBLIC privileges, i.e., find as to whether PUBLIC (all current and future users) has CONNECT privilege in the database. PUBLIC gets the privilege by default. Problem detection system catalog base tables only 2022-10-31 10:19 MIT License View
133 Inconsistent use of functions and procedures Find as to whether the database has both procedures as well as functions that do not return a value (i.e., return VOID). Such routines are generally used to modify data in the database. The support of procedures was added to PostgreSQL 11.

134 Some data modification functions return a value and some not Find as to whether there are data modification routines that return a value as well as data modification routines that do not return a value.

135 Inconsistent data type usage in case of registering a date Find as to whether there are multiple different types used in case of columns that are meant for registering dates. Problem detection INFORMATION_SCHEMA only 2021-03-21 18:32 MIT License View
136 Each table is both referencing and referenced table (perhaps there is a cycle in relationships) Find as to whether the relationships between tables form a complete bidirected graph. Tables are vertices in the graph. There is a directed edge between two vertices if one of the tables refers to another through foreign key relationship on mandatory columns.

137 Inconsistent use of older and newer join syntax in the subqueries of derived tables Find as to whether the subqueries of derived tables use both older join syntax (join condition in the where clause) and newer syntax (join condition in the from clause).

140 Sometimes regexp_like, sometimes ~ 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.
