+    Monkeypatch dialect to correctly escape single quotes for Databricks.
 
-    The Databricks SQLAlchemy dialect we currently use does not escape single quotes
-    correctly -- it doubles the single quotes, instead of adding a backslash. The fixed
-    version requires SQLAlchemy 2.0, which is not yet available in Superset.
+    The Databricks SQLAlchemy dialect (<3.0) incorrectly escapes single quotes by
+    doubling them ('O''Hara') instead of using backslash escaping ('O\'Hara'). The
+    fixed version requires SQLAlchemy>=2.0, which is not yet compatible with Superset.
+
+    Since the DatabricksDialect.colspecs points to the base class (HiveDialect.colspecs)
+    we can't patch it without affecting other Hive-based dialects. The solution is to
+    introduce a dialect-aware string type so that the change applies only to Databricks.
