Goal Find base tables that have optional columns for recording both given name and surname and do not have a CHECK constraint that requires that at least one of the name components must be registered in case of each person.
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:

NameDescription
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

This query is classified under the following categories:

NameDescription
CHECK constraintsQueries of this category provide information about CHECK constraints.
Result quality depends on namesQueries of this category use names (for instance, column names) to try to guess the meaning of a database object. Thus, the goodness of names determines the number of false positive and false negative results.
Validity and completenessQueries 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).
