The list of all the queries

Perhaps a too simplified state machine

Query goal: Find base table columns with Boolean type that name refers to the possibility that these are used to register as to whether an entity is currently in active state or not. Find the base tables that have exactly one Boolean column. During the system design one should find all the possible states of an entity type that influence the behavior of the information system. Data as to whether an entity is in one of these states should be in the database. Having only two states - active/inactive - is sometimes a too big simplification.
Notes about the query: The query considers both column names in English and Estonian.
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)

Categories where the query belongs to

Category nameCategory description
Boolean dataQueries of this category provide information about truth-values data that is kept in the database.
Comfortability of database evolutionQueries of this category provide information about the means that influence database evolution.
Result quality depends on namesQueries of this category use names (for instance, column names) to try to guess the meaning of a database object. Thus, the goodness of names determines the number of false positive and false negative results.
State machineQueries of this category provide information about registration of states of entities in a database.
Validity and completenessQueries of this category provide information about whether database design represents the world (domain) correctly (validity) and whether database design captures all the information about the world (domain) that is correct and relevant (completeness).
