CAST Engineering Dashboard - Violations - No Violation - Avoid Nested Loops QR for ABAP

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose

Some violations are missing for this QR.

Applicable in CAST Version

Release	Yes/No
8.3.x	✅

Applicable RDBMS

RDBMS	Yes/No
CSS	✅

Details

If the issue is for no violation for metric “Avoid Nested Loops” (ABAP), you can consider reviewing the code to see the level of nested loop the code has since the MAV3 metric computed for ABAP is with more than 3 levels. So any object with level of nesting <= 3 will not be considered for violations.

CAST Engineering Dashboard - Violations - No Violation - Avoid Select star queries

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose

This page gives information about Quality rule Avoid “Select *” queries

Applicable in CAST Version

Release	Yes/No
8.3.x	✅

Applicable RDBMS

RDBMS	Yes/No
CSS	✅

Details

The rule “Avoid “Select *” queries” does not violate if your SQL statement does not contain select *. The rule will not violate any dynamic syntax.

For instance if you have a statement “SELECT t from TABLE t” and you are expecting the rule to be violated then your expectation is wrong because in the syntax “t” can be replaced with any value during the run time, the code changed at runtime is not analysed. The analyzer considers only static code. For the analyzer if there was a " * “ in the query instead of ” t “ only then the violation would have been triggered.
Now since there is no * , the rule will not take into consideration this this dynamic syntax - “SELECT t from TABLE t”
This is expected behaviour.
