Base tables with multiple name columns

Query goal: Find base tables with more than one name columns. Perhaps the normalization level of the table is low.
Notes about the query: In case of the string_agg function, the line break (br) tag is used as a part of the separator for the better readability in case the query result is displayed in a web browser. The query considers both column names in English and Estonian.
Query type: General (Overview of some aspect of the database.)

Find problems by overviewQueries that results point to different aspects of database that might have problems. A human reviewer has to decide based on the results as to whether there are problems or not .

Categories where the query belongs to

Category nameCategory description
Result quality depends on namesQueries of this category use names (for instance, column names) to try to guess the meaning of a database object. Thus, the goodness of names determines the number of false positive and false negative results.
Structure of base tablesQueries of this category provide information about the structuring of base tables at the database conceptual level
