Not thrilled with the "coded" length in the returned record but you
could CASE that too and then you would only read the data once.
If you need the explicit length range in the final result you could do
select mod(length,100) * 100 as low_length, (mod(length,100) + 1) * 100
as high_length....
group by low_length, high_length, type
You would of course get more type of records 400-500, 500-600 etc but
again it all happens in a single read.
And temp tables can be your friend too!
