This PR implements a security enhancement to prevent potential SQL injection.

Vulnerability:
The _migrate_database_schema method in metadata_generator.py dynamically builds ALTER TABLE statements using an f-string to insert the column name. Although the dictionary keys are currently hardcoded, if they ever become user-controlled, this would introduce an SQL injection vulnerability because SQL column names cannot be parameterized with ?.

Fix:
Added a check using Python's str.isidentifier() to validate that the column name conforms to safe syntax (alphanumeric and underscores) before executing the query. If the validation fails, a ValueError is raised.

Impact:
Increases defense-in-depth and ensures the database migration mechanism remains secure even if the schema configuration method changes in the future.

This commit adds a defense-in-depth enhancement to `_migrate_database_schema`
in `metadata_generator.py`. The `ALTER TABLE` DDL statement uses an f-string
to insert column names. By validating the column name with `str.isidentifier()`,
we ensure that it is a safe SQL column name, preventing SQL injection if the
column configuration is ever exposed to user input.
