| Goal | Find the extent in which repeating rows are permitted in the database. Find the number and percentage (from the total number of base tables) of base tables that do not have the PRIMARY KEY constraint and also do not have any UNIQUE constraints. |
|---|---|
| Notes | The condition "WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM base_tables)" ensures that there is now division by zero, i.e., if there are no base tables in the database the query does not return any rows. |
| Type | Sofware measure (Numeric values (software measures) about the database) |

Collections
This query belongs to the following collections:
Find problems about integrity constraints
A selection of queries that return information about the state of integrity constraints in the datadabase. Contains all the types of queries - problem detection, software measure, and general overview
Find problems by overview
Queries that results point to different aspects of database that might have problems. A human reviewer has to decide based on the results as to whether there are problems or not .
Find quick numeric overview of the database
Queries that return numeric values showing mostly the number of different types of database objects in the database
