| Goal | Find columns of derived tables that name has been given by the system. The creators of the table should specify the name themselves to avoid ugly names and nasty surprises. |
|---|---|
| Notes | pg_get_viewdef function reconstructs the underlying SELECT command for a view or materialized view. Thus, this is a decompiled reconstruction, not the original text of the command. |
| Type | Problem detection Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design |
| Reliability | High Few or no false-positive results |
| License | MIT (opens in new tab) |
| Fixing Suggestion | Give to the columns explicitly names in the table definition. |
