Query goal: | Avoid using IS NOT DISTINCT FROM because it makes the query planner to avoid using an index. |
Query type: | Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design) |
Query reliability: | High (Few or no false-positive results) |
Query license: | MIT License |
Data source: | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog |
