The list of all the queries

Do not create multiple columns for the same attribute

Query goal: Find base tables that implement recording multivalued attribute values with the help of repeating group of columns. Find base tables that have more than one columns with the same type and field size and the difference between the columns are the numbers in the column names (column1, column2, etc.).
Notes about the query: Query assumes that repeating columns have names that differ from each other only by numbers. In case of the string_agg function, the line break (br) tag is used as a part of the separator for the better readability in case the query result is displayed in a web browser. The query excludes columns that have year or month number at the end of the name.
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: Instead of repeating groups one should have multiple tables or should use a column with an array type.

Create a dependent table or use a column with an array type. For instance, instead of table

Photo(photo_id, name, tag1, tag2, tag3)
Primary Key (photo_id)

create tables:

Photo(photo_id, name)
Primary Key (photo_id)

Photo_tag(photo_id, tag, seq)
Primary Key (photo_id, seq)
Alternate Key (photo_id, tag)
Foreign Key (photo_id) References Photo(photo_id)

Collections where the query belongs to

Collection nameCollection description
Find problems about base tablesA selection of queries that return information about the data types, field sizes, default values as well as general structure of base tables. Contains all the types of queries - problem detection, software measure, and general overview
Find problems automaticallyQueries, that results point to problems in the database. Each query in the collection produces an initial assessment. However, a human reviewer has the final say as to whether there is a problem or not .

Categories where the query belongs to

Category nameCategory description
Comfortability of database evolutionQueries of this category provide information about the means that influence database evolution.
Database design antipatternsQueries of this category provide information about possible occurrences of SQL database design antipatterns.
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.
Structure of base tablesQueries of this category provide information about the structuring of base tables at the database conceptual level
