The list of all the queries

Use invocation of a precise function instead of casting in a default value expression

Query goal: Be precise and write as little code as possible. Prefer expressions with simple invocations of functions like localtimestamp, current_timestamp, and current_date over expressions like (now())::date. Find table columns that have a default value that casts the type of the returned value of a non-deterministic function (now, localtimestamp, current_timestamp, and current_date).
Notes about the query: The query finds default values that are associated directly with a base table column as well as default values that are specified through a domain. The query does not find default values of domains that are not associated with any table.
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)

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 .
