| Goal | Find simple check constraints, i.e., check constraints that cover one column that seem to have multiple tasks. The corresponding code smell in case of cleaning code is "G30: Functions Should Do One Thing". (Robert C. Martin, Clean Code) |
|---|---|
| Notes | The query finds CHECK constraints that are associated with a base table directly as well as CHECK constraints that are associated with domains that are used to define at least one column. The query does not find CHECK constraints 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 | Low (Many false-positive results) |
| License | MIT (opens in new tab) |
| Fixing Suggestion | Create multiple CHECK constraints instead of one. |
| Data Source | system catalog only |
| SQL Query |
