The list of all the queries

Multiple tables share the same state classifier

Query goal: Find cases where multiple tables share the same state classifier. For each main entity type one should create a separate state classifier table. Even if the classifier values are the same in case of two entity types for now these may become different in the future. Having a shared state classifier table usually means very simplistic state machines (states active and inactive) that could point to the gaps in analysis.
Notes about the query: The query uses PostgreSQL system catalog tables not information_schema views in order to give precise answer even if foreign key constraints in different tables have the same name. In SQL a foreign key is an ordered set of columns that must contain at least one column. The query result preserves the order of columns in the key. In case of the string_agg function, the line break (br) tag is used as a part of the separator 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: Medium (Medium number of false-positive results)
Query license: MIT License
Fixing suggestion: Create a separate classifier table for each target table.
