| Goal | Find the number of rules in a database in different schemas, excluding the rules that are created to support views. Rules can be used to maintain data integrity in a database by causing rejection of incorrect insertions and updates. Therefore, the number of rules in a database gives an indication about the state of enforcing constraints at the database level. |
|---|---|
| Notes | Rules are specific to PostgreSQL and thus it is not possible to get information about these from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views. The query only returns data about schemas that have at least one user-defined rule. |
| Type | Sofware measure Numeric values (software measures) about the database |
| License | MIT (opens in new tab) |
| Data Source | system catalog only |
