Summary

  • Adds MySQL, Snowflake, and Trino/Presto entries to the .table() per-dialect reference, matching the existing Databricks entry's compact table / schema.table / catalog.schema.table form.
  • Notes BigQuery wildcard-table backtick quoting, DuckDB glob patterns and dotted identifier paths, and a DuckDB escape hatch (duckdb.table("'/actual/path'")) for when Malloy doesn't recognize the argument as a file path.
  • Adds a "Quoting and reserved words" subsection covering identifier-quote characters per dialect.

Test plan

  • Render src/documentation/language/connections.malloynb locally and confirm the new subsections render correctly (backticks, code spans, example block).

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Adds MySQL, Snowflake, and Trino/Presto entries to the Table Connection
Method section, plus BigQuery wildcard syntax, DuckDB globs and dotted
identifiers, a DuckDB literal-quote escape hatch, and a quoting/reserved-
words subsection.
