## What it is
SQLCheck is a command-line tool that automatically detects common SQL anti-patterns in queries and schema definitions. It supports all major SQL dialects including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and Oracle, and helps improve query performance by flagging problematic patterns.

## Use cases
- detect anti-patterns in sql queries
- lint sql files for performance issues
- review database schema design for anti-patterns
- find select * and other bad query habits
- check sql queries across multiple dialects
- improve slow sql queries by finding anti-patterns

## When to choose
- you want automated static analysis of SQL queries or DDL for known anti-patterns
- you work across multiple SQL dialects and want one tool
- you want a lightweight CLI to integrate into code review or CI

## When to avoid
- you need a full SQL query optimizer or runtime performance profiler
- you need syntax validation or execution of SQL
- you need an IDE-integrated linter with autofix capabilities

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: linter, developer-tools, database
- domain: databases, developer-tools, performance
- platform: cli, windows, cross-platform
- tags: sql-anti-patterns, static-analysis, sql-linter, query-optimization, database-design, linux, macos
