| Goal | Find columns of base tables that name refers to the possibility that it contains unique values but the column does not belong to any PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE constraint. If something has to be unique, then it must be said to the system so that it could use the information for internal optimizations and enforce the constraint. |
|---|---|
| Notes | The query finds columns that (case insensitive) name is id, code, or kood (i.e., the column possibly contains unique values) but do not belong to any PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE constraint. The query considers both column names in English and Estonian. |
| Type | Problem detection Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design |
| Reliability | High Few or no false-positive results |
| License | MIT (opens in new tab) |
| Fixing Suggestion | Declare the PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint. |
| Data Source | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog |

This query belongs to the following collections:
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 .
