| Goal | Find expressions that use a regular expression with a like predicate pattern. |
|---|---|
| Notes | In the returned body of routine and subquery of view/materialized view the query replaces each newline character with the line break (br) tag for the better readability in case the query result is displayed in a web browser. The query does not consider the routines that are a part of an extension. There could be multiple routines with the same name but with different parameters in the same schema (overloading). Thus, for the unique identification of the routine it is necessary to present also its parameters in addition to the schema name and routine name. The query also consideres regexp_like function that was added to PostgreSQL 15 and provides the same functionality as ~ and ~* operators. |
| Type | Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design) |
| Reliability | Medium (Medium number of false-positive results) |
