| Goal | This query identifies comments on derived tables (views) and routines that are 50 characters or longer and written entirely in uppercase letters. Writing long comments exclusively in capital letters should be avoided, as it significantly reduces readability and is generally perceived as shouting in digital communication. |
|---|---|
| Notes | Refers to the column pg_proc.prokind and thus works starting from PostgreSQL 11. There could be multiple routines with the same name but with different parameters in the same schema (overloading). Thus, for the unique identification of the routine it is necessary to present also its parameters in addition to the schema name and routine name. 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 | High (Few or no false-positive results) |
| License | MIT (opens in new tab) |
| Fixing Suggestion | Write normal sentences. Use a mix of lowercase and uppercase in comments. |
| Data Source | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog |
