Description

when creating table using phoenix DDL replace the column names that the user give with shorter names to save space. the user will still the full name is his select statements and will get them in the result set but under the hood the infra will translate the names to their sorter version.

example:
when creating table with my_column_1, my_column_2 ... the table will be created with a as first column , b as the second one etc'
