Ccing list.

Firstly, I apologize for my mistake. I meant PostgreSQL, not SQLite.

Secondly, when it comes to fuzzing tests, it refers to using automatically generated inputs to test the security and stability of software. In the realm of databases, particularly with respect to PostgreSQL, fuzzing tests can help uncover logic errors and crash bugs in the database. Fuzzing inputs for these types of bugs typically encompass various SQL statements, such as creating tables, creating indexes, inserting data, deleting data, and so forth. These inputs simulate various scenarios within the database system, aiding in the discovery of potential vulnerabilities and issues, thus enhancing the stability and security of the database
What I was getting at is that details about the tools/software you are using as well as how you are currently using them would help those that also do this to guide you.

    1) FYI, this is the list for Postgres not SQLite.

    2) I don't know anything about fuzzy testing, but for those that do it
    might be helpful to mention what tools you are using.
