Query goal: | Find names of domains that contain the name of the table that column the domain specifies. Domains are reusable artifacts that one should be able to use in case of different base tables. Thus, it is inappropriate to use the name of a particular table in the name of the domain. |
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) |
Query license: | MIT License |
Fixing suggestion: | Rename the domain and make the name more general. |
Data source: | INFORMATION_SCHEMA only |
