Query below returns distribution of column name lengths (number of characters).

Columns
- ColumnNameLength - lenght in characters of column name
- Columns - number of columns with this length
- Tables - number of tables that have columns with this name length
Rows
- One row represents one name lenght (number of characters)
- Scope of rows: each column length that exists in a database
- Ordered by length ascending (from 1 to max)
