Automated SQL source code review

A computer-implemented automated review method for structured query language (SQL) source code files seeking to access a data store, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving a request to review SQL source code files seeking to access the data store;
• calculating an SQL complexity score for each SQL source code file;
• setting an issue flag if the SQL complexity score is greater than an SQL complexity score threshold;
• checking the SQL source code files for SQL-92 compliance;
• setting the issue flag if any of the SQL source code files is not SQL-92 compliant;
• comparing a data type of data in the SQL source code files to be input to the data store with a data type of a field in the data store set to receive the input data;
• setting the issue flag if the data type of any input data does not match the data type of a corresponding data store field;
• checking the SQL source code files for SQL triggers set to activate when selected SQL commands are executed;
• setting the issue flag if there are any SQL triggers;
• reviewing the status of the issue flag;
• issuing a halt signal if the issue flag is set;
• and
• issuing a proceed signal if the issue flag is not set.
