postgresql/no-select-star

Why this matters

Listing columns explicitly keeps the result schema stable when the table evolves — a new column won't silently appear in callers, and a removed column won't silently disappear. The aggregate form `count(*)` is unaffected.

Examples

SELECT * FROM users;

SELECT u.* FROM users u;

SELECT id, name FROM users;

SELECT count(*) FROM users; -- aggregate star is fine

Configure it

// eslint.config.js
import postgresql from "eslint-plugin-postgresql";

export default [
  {
    files: ["**/*.sql"],
    languageOptions: {
      parser: postgresql.configs.recommended.languageOptions.parser,
    },
    plugins: { postgresql },
    rules: {
      "postgresql/no-select-star": "warn",
    },
  },
];
