Usage

Sources: README, 1.1.2 release

pglinter analyzes your database for potential issues, performance problems, and best practice violations. It outputs results in SARIF 2.1.0 format.

Run Checks

SELECT pglinter.check();                                -- Run all enabled rules
SELECT pglinter.check_rule('B001');                     -- Run a specific rule
SELECT pglinter.check('/path/to/results.sarif');        -- Save SARIF report to file
SELECT pglinter.check_rule('B001', '/path/to/b001.sarif');

Rule Management

SELECT pglinter.show_rules();                -- Show all rules and their status
SELECT pglinter.explain_rule('B001');        -- Get rule details and suggested fixes
SELECT pglinter.enable_rule('B001');         -- Enable a specific rule
SELECT pglinter.disable_rule('B001');        -- Disable a specific rule
SELECT pglinter.is_rule_enabled('B001');     -- Check if a rule is enabled
SELECT pglinter.enable_all_rules();
SELECT pglinter.disable_all_rules();

Rule Configuration

SELECT pglinter.update_rule_levels('B001', 30, 70);   -- Set warning/error thresholds
SELECT pglinter.get_rule_levels('B001');               -- Get current thresholds
SELECT pglinter.export_rules_to_yaml();                -- Export rules to YAML
SELECT pglinter.import_rules_from_yaml('yaml...');     -- Import rules from YAML

Rule Families

Base (B-series): B001 tables without PK, B002 redundant indexes, B003 missing FK indexes, B004 unused indexes, B005 uppercase names, B006 unused tables, B007 cross-schema FKs, B008 FK type mismatches, B009 shared trigger functions, B010 reserved keywords, B011 multiple owners per schema.

Cluster (C-series): C002 insecure pg_hba.conf entries, C003 MD5 password encryption.

Schema (S-series): S001 no default role grants, S002 env prefixes/suffixes, S003 unsecured public schema, S004 system role ownership, S005 multiple owners per schema.

Release Delta

The 1.1.2 release adds rule B013 for row-by-row processing triggers without a WHERE clause. The README has not yet been updated with that rule, so treat the release note as the authoritative delta from 1.1.1.
