<p>This rule checks, that there are no tab characters (<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">\t</code>) in the source file.
It reports only the first occurrence per file.</p>
<p>Using tab characters for indentation is not recommended, since this requires that every developer
uses the same tab with in their editor.</p>
<p>This rule is the PMD equivalent of checkstyles <a href="http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_whitespace.html#FileTabCharacter">FileTabCharacter</a> check.</p>

<h2 id="codeformat">CodeFormat</h2>
<p><strong>Since:</strong> PMD 6.9.0</p>
<p><strong>Priority:</strong> Medium (3)</p>
<p>This rule verifies that the PLSQL code is properly formatted. The following checks are executed:</p>
<p>SQL Queries:</p>
<ul>
<li>The selected columns must be each on a new line</li>
<li>The keywords (BULK COLLECT INTO, FROM) start on a new line and are indented by one level</li>
<li>UNION should be on the same indentation level as SELECT</li>
<li>Each JOIN is on a new line. If there are more than one JOIN conditions, then each condition should be
on a separate line.</li>
</ul>
<p>Parameter definitions for procedures:</p>
<ul>
<li>Each parameter should be on a new line</li>
<li>Variable names as well as their types should be aligned</li>
</ul>
<p>Variable declarations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Each variable should be on a new line</li>
<li>Variable names as well as their types should be aligned</li>
</ul>
<p>Calling a procedure:</p>
<ul>
<li>If there are more than 3 parameters
<ul>
<li>then named parameters should be used</li>
<li>and each parameter should be on a new line</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
