Find base tables without any unique constraints and primary key as well as any unique index, whether it is created explicitly by a developer or automatically by the DBMS. The only legitimate reason of such a table is if it is an abstract table that is used to define common columns of subtables.
Type
Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Declare the PRIMARY KEY constraint and possibly UNIQUE (or EXCLUDE) constraints.

Name
Description
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 automatically
Queries, that results point to problems in the database. Each query in the collection produces an initial assessment. However, a human reviewer has the final say as to whether there is a problem or not .
Categories
This query is classified under the following categories:
Name
Description
Performance
Queries of this category provide information about indexes in a database.
Uniqueness
Queries of this category provide information about uniqueness constraints (PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE, EXCLUDE) as well as unique indexes.
Validity and completeness
Queries of this category provide information about whether database design represents the world (domain) correctly (validity) and whether database design captures all the information about the world (domain) that is correct and relevant (completeness).
