 - Stable SQL column names come from explicit catalog registration or the frontend `schema ...` command, including for empty tables; otherwise the default names are positional such as `c0` and `c1`.
 - Single-table SQL queries may use the table name as a qualifier when no alias is present.
 - Do not describe unsupported SQL features such as aggregates, grouping, or arbitrary expressions as implemented.
