Stamatis Zampetakis commented on CALCITE-3038:
----------------------------------------------
Yes it may be possible to fix it the way the code is right now but it may
complicate other things in the future. As you already said DESCRIBE is doing
many things so I was trying to avoid adding more to it. Having said that, I
don't mind leaving this open and seeing if there is an elegant solution; up to
you.
> DESCRIBE throws exception when table name is non-reserved keyword
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CALCITE-3038
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3038
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Rui Li
> Priority: Major
>
> For example, suppose I have a table named {{source}}. {{DESCRIBE source}}
> throws exception:
> {noformat}
> CalciteException: Non-query expression encountered in illegal context
> {noformat}
> Not sure if this behavior is intended. But if a user is allowed to create a
> table named {{source}} w/o quoting it, it seems strange to require quoting
> when describe the table.
