obfuscate: MSSQL-style bracketed parameters to AS result in odd behaviour

[gbbr]

The sql quantizer is doing this to MSSQL queries:
(note that [Blogs] AS [b] becomes [ Blogs ] b ], so now the left brackets don't match the right brackets)

SELECT [b].[BlogId], [b].[Name]
FROM [Blogs] AS [b]
ORDER BY [b].[Name]

into

SELECT [ b ] . [ BlogId ], [ b ] . [ Name ]
FROM [ Blogs ] b ]
ORDER BY [ b ] . [ Name ]

Square brackets are used to delimit or escape identifiers in Microsoft SQL Server. It's required if a column name is a SQL keyword or has spaces, for example, but some developers use them even when not required. IIRC, it's equivalent to the backtick ` in MySQL or double quotes " in ANSI SQL.

These specific queries were created by Entity Framework, the most popular ORM for .NET.
