| Goal | Find columns of base tables that have type BOOLEAN. Based on column names these implement a state machine or record agreements. At the same time the columns do not have a default value. There are only two truth values - TRUE and FALSE - in case of two-valued logic. It should be possible to select one of these as the default value of the column. |
|---|---|
| Notes | The query takes into account both column names in Estonian and in English. |
| Type | Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design) |
| Reliability | Medium (Medium number of false-positive results) |

Categories
This query is classified under the following categories:
Boolean data
Queries of this category provide information about truth-values data that is kept in the database.
Comfortability of data management
Queries of this category provide information about the means that have been used to make the use or management of database more comfortable and thus, more efficient.
Default value
Queries of this catergory provide information about the use of default values.
