Description

I am using the open source version of Liquibase against Databricks and found a bug - it seems Liquibase attempts to describe all the tables in the schema which is being deployed into, and it does not wrap the object names in back ticks (`) to escape special characters - In the schema below, I have a table name that contains a dash which is not allowed unless it is wrapped in backticks - see the error message below.

Starting Liquibase at 13:42:10 using Java 21.0.7 (version 4.33.0 #8744 built at 2025-07-08 20:43+0000)
Liquibase Version: 4.33.0
Liquibase Open Source 4.33.0 by Liquibase

Unquoted identifiers must also not start with a digit.
