Problem
alasql.parse()followed byAST.toString()was losing square brackets on column names with special characters:Changes
Column.toString()insrc/50expression.jsto detect bracketed column IDs (object withvalandwrapproperties) and reconstruct proper bracket/backtick syntaxtest/test1740.jswith 6 test cases covering spaces, periods, special characters, multiple columns, and backticksNote
The failing test046 (
15 == 0) is a pre-existing issue on the develop branch, unrelated to these changes. It tests array bracket notation ([0],[1]) for array-of-arrays queries, which is a separate bug from the column name bracket notation ([Foo Bar]) addressed here.✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
