Problem
Databricks SQL requires identifiers containing hyphens to be backtick-quoted. When a Unity Catalog name contains hyphens (e.g.,
arc-dbx-uc-cdp), SQL queries likeSHOW SCHEMAS IN arc-dbx-uc-cdpfail with parse errors because the engine interprets the hyphens as minus operators.Solution
Two complementary fixes:
SQLWarehouse.py_quote_hyphenated_uc_identifiers()static method that automatically detects and backtick-quotes hyphenated identifiers in SQL'...',"...") and already-backticked identifiers, so existing queries are not brokenquery(),query_chunked(), andexecute()UnityCatalog.py{catalog}with backticks in all 5 SQL f-strings:SHOW SCHEMAS INSHOW TABLES INDESCRIBESELECT ...
