Perhaps unnecessay regular expression

Query goal: Find occurrences of possibly pointless regular expressions - i.e., value contains zero or more symbols.
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: Simplify database and remove fragments of code that do not provide value.
Data source: INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog
