Schema management tools often include built-in linters. I added a linter engine to my MySQL/MariaDB schema management tool Skeema back in 2019 and it proved to be a popular feature [1]. A couple more recent entrants in this space include ByteBase [2] and Atlas [3].
When selecting a linter, I'd just recommend ensuring the author(s) are deeply experienced in your particular DBMS. Otherwise they tend to cargo-cult bad advice that is either out-of-date, or only makes sense for some other DBMS. And nowadays, AI hallucinations are another source of nonsensical linters.
