| Goal | Know the privileges that users have in your system. Probably all the database users do not need these privileges. |
|---|---|
| Notes | 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. In the output data the query removes from the end of the routine name the numbers, which represent the object identifier of the routine in the system catalog. |
| 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 | Revoke the execution privilege from PUBLIC. |
| Data Source | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog |
| SQL Query |
|
SQL statements that help generate fixes for the identified problem.
