The list of all the queries

Perhaps a redundant column (based on sequence generators)

Query goal: Find base tables where more than one column gets the default value by using the sequence generator mechanism.
Query type: Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Query reliability: Low (Many false-positive results)
Query license: MIT License
Fixing suggestion: Perhaps some of these columns are unnecessary or do not need a default value.
Data source: INFORMATION_SCHEMA only

Collections where the query belongs to

Collection nameCollection description
Find problems about base tablesA selection of queries that return information about the data types, field sizes, default values as well as general structure of base tables. Contains all the types of queries - problem detection, software measure, and general overview
Find problems automaticallyQueries, 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 where the query belongs to
