postgresql/require-primary-key

Why this matters

Tables without a primary key cannot be replicated cleanly with logical replication, are hard to shard, and break most ORMs and migration tools. Partitions (`CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION OF ...`) inherit their parent's primary key and are not flagged.

Examples

CREATE TABLE t (id INT, name TEXT);

CREATE TABLE t (id INT PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT);

CREATE TABLE t (id INT, name TEXT, PRIMARY KEY (id));

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/require-primary-key": "warn",
    },
  },
];

Options
