Any insert which omits a value for a <code>NOT NULL</code> column in a database table will be automatically rejected by the database unless a default value has been specified for the column.

*Noteworthy* 
This rule raises issues only when a *Data Dictionary* is provided during the analysis. See https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Data+Dictionary

== Noncompliant Code Example

With the table <code>MY_TABLE</code> having a <code>NOT NULL</code> column <code>N2</code> without default value and a <code>NOT NULL</code> column <code>N3</code> with default value:

----
  INSERT INTO MY_TABLE  -- Noncompliant; N2 value omitted
  (
    N1
  )
  VALUES 
  (
    1
  )
----

== Compliant Solution

----
  INSERT INTO MY_TABLE  -- Compliant even though N3 value not supplied
  (
    N1,
    N2
  )
  VALUES 
  (
    1,
    'Paul'
  )
----
