Categories

This query is classified under the following categories:

NameDescription
Field sizeQueries of this category provide information about the maximum size of values that can be recorded in column fields
Result quality depends on namesQueries of this category use names (for instance, column names) to try to guess the meaning of a database object. Thus, the goodness of names determines the number of false positive and false negative results.
