| Goal | Find base tables that have at least two columns that have DATE or TIMESTAMP (with or without time zone) type and do not have any associated CHECK constraint that involves two or more of these columns. The columns mean that we want to record data about events or processes, which often have a certain order. Hence, in case of each row of such a table the values in these columns must be in a certain order. For instance, the end of a meeting cannot be earlier than the beginning of the meeting. |

| Type | Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design) |
| Reliability | Medium (Medium number of false-positive results) |

Collections
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 .
