I use PostgreSQL. Is there a query to get a list of all tables that do not have the unique constraint on the sequence column? If it helps forming a query I use "reference" for my sequence column.

This is an example of a table that has this.das

\d+ a_practical_approach_when_there_is_a_lot_to_do

It is easy to search the information_schema for tables with a column named reference that is no primary key:

SELECT table_schema,
       table_name
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE column_name = 'reference'
EXCEPT ALL
SELECT table_schema,
       table_name
FROM information_schema.table_constraints AS tc
   JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage AS kcu
      USING (table_schema, table_name)
WHERE kcu.column_name = 'reference'
  AND tc.constraint_type = 'PRIMARY KEY';
