Query goal: | Find user-defined routines that are invoked by exactly one user-defined routine. |
Notes about the query: | The query only considers routines that have SQL-standard function body. The function any_value that is used in the query was added to PostgreSQL 16. Refers to the column pg_proc.prokind and thus works starting from PostgreSQL 11. In the returned body of routine the query replaces each newline character with the line break (br) tag for the better readability in case the query result is displayed in a web browser. There could be multiple routines with the same name but with different parameters in the same schema (overloading). Thus, for the unique identification of the routine it is necessary to present also its parameters in addition to the schema name and routine name. |
Query type: | Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design) |
Query reliability: | Medium (Medium number of false-positive results) |
Query license: | MIT License |
Fixing suggestion: | If a routine is used only by one routine, then perhaps it is better to merge these. |
Data source: | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog |
