Text-to-SQL model errors fixed by updating dialect type

A text-to-SQL model was incorrectly generating SQL for PostgreSQL when it should have been generating it for ClickHouse, leading to subtle errors. The issue stemmed from a hardcoded 'postgres' dialect in the model's prompt, which the model faithfully followed despite the actual database engine being different. The fix involved updating the type definition to include 'clickhouse' and ensuring the correct dialect was dynamically passed to the model, turning a runtime bug into a compile-time error. AI

IMPACT Ensures accuracy in text-to-SQL generation when multiple database dialects are in use.

RANK_REASON The item describes a bug fix in a text-to-SQL model's implementation, focusing on software engineering practices rather than a new model release or significant research.
