| Query goal: | Find user-defined routines that contain UPDATE or DELETE statement but do not contain any WHERE clause, meaning that at least one UPDATE or DELETE operation influences all the rows of a table. |
| Notes about the query: | Refers to the column pg_proc.prokind and thus works starting from PostgreSQL 11. 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. The query does not consider the routines that are a part of an extension. In the returned body of routine the query replaces each newline character with the line break (br) tag for the better readability in case the query result is displayed in a web browser. |
| Query type: | Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design) |
| Query reliability: | Low (Many false-positive results) |
| Query license: | MIT License |
| Fixing suggestion: | Write a SQL UPDATE or DELETE statements that corresponds to the requirements of the system. |
| Data source: | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog |
