Hi Tomas,

Thanks for your comments and also revising patches.

I now understand how "cfbot" works so that I'll take care of that
when I send patches. Thanks.

Oops, sorry about that.

I Agreed. 0002 is easy to modify test cases and check results than 0003.
Therefore, I'll go with 0002.

Yeah, I think so too, but I couldn't get an idea of a suitable name for
the columns when I created the patch.
I don't prefer a long name but I'll replace the name with it to be clearer.
For example, s/N_size/Ndistinct_size/.

Please find attached patcheds:
- 0001: Replace column names
- 0002: Recreate regression test based on 0001
