AI/BI Genie

  • Fixed table identifier quoting: Genie now properly quotes table name identifiers in queries by adding backticks around each part of the catalog, schema, and table name. For example, catalog.schema.table is now formatted as `catalog`.`schema`.`table` to prevent TABLE_OR_VIEW_NOT_FOUND errors.
  • Fixed ANY keyword error: Genie now replaces the ANY keyword with the IN keyword when querying list columns to avoid common SQL errors.
  • Improved query descriptions: Genie now uses an updated model to generate more precise and accurate query descriptions.
