Schema: CREATE TABLE CHARACTERISTICS (characteristic_name VARCHAR, characteristic_id VARCHAR); CREATE TABLE products (product_id VARCHAR, product_name VARCHAR); CREATE TABLE product_characteristics (product_id VARCHAR, characteristic_id VARCHAR)
Question: How many distinct characteristic names does the product "cumin" have?
SQL: SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT t3.characteristic_name) FROM products AS t1 JOIN product_characteristics AS t2 ON t1.product_id = t2.product_id JOIN CHARACTERISTICS AS t3 ON t2.characteristic_id = t3.characteristic_id WHERE t1.product_name = "sesame"
