Description

The tutorial recommends commodity names with a dash (-) but this causes an error when cycles uses this name to compose an SQL table. These should be changed to underscore.

Documentation should be updated to warn against using dashes.

Research direction

Start by locating the tutorial pages that recommend commodity names with dashes and review how those names are used to compose SQL tables. Update the examples to use underscores and add a warning against dashes; the tutorial should no longer promote names that cause the reported SQL error.
