| Goal | Find parameters of routines that have the same name but a different type. Parameters that have the same name should have, in general, the same data type as well, assuming that the routines, which have the parameters, have different names, i.e., there is no overloading in play. |
|---|---|
| Notes | 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 does not consider the routines that are a part of an extension. |
| Type | Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design) |
| Reliability | Medium (Medium number of false-positive results) |
| License | MIT (opens in new tab) |
| Fixing Suggestion | Change the type of the parameter or the name of the parameter by dropping the routines and recreating these. |
