Goal Find columns of base tables that have default value CURRENT_USER.
Notes The query finds default values that are associated directly with a base table column as well as default values that are specified through a domain. The query does not find default values of domains that are not associated with any table.
Type Problem detection Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design
Reliability Medium Medium number of false-positive results
