Description

Oftentimes people try to write queries like
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE ds = 2011-08-03

This won't work because quotes are missing, and it'll actually try to filter on ds = "2000".

People run into this pretty regularly; a simple check on whether the types match exactly in partition predicates would make this a lot less likely to happen.
