Goal This query identifies all base table columns defined with the range of timestamp without zone data type. Use of this data type is a potential design flaw as it can lead to ambiguity and bugs when handling data from multiple time zones.
Type Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Reliability Low (Many false-positive results)
License MIT License
Fixing Suggestion Use type TSTZRANGE for the better flexibility
Data Source INFORMATION_SCHEMA only

ORDER BY table_schema, table_name, ordinal_position;
