Research direction

Start by locating the dialect's colspecs and reviewing SQLAlchemy's Interval generic type decorator class. Compare the registration of existing dialect column types, then verify that INTERVAL is supported as a column type; done means the dialect recognizes INTERVAL through its type mapping.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

My team and I would love to see this dialect add support for INTERVAL as a column type. I'm assuming it will require subclassing sqlalchemy's Interval generic type decorator class and adding something to this dialects colspecs.

Thanks in advance for your consideration!
