2. UAF-Specific Recommendations

• Array Dimension Setup: Configures proper 1D/2D array structures
• Time Indexing: Sets up appropriate temporal indexing
• Parameter Optimization: Suggests optimal parameters for TD_PLOT
• Pipeline Integration: Recommends complementary UAF functions

3. SQL Generation Process

• UAF Syntax Generation: Creates proper Unbounded Array Framework SQL
• Array Processing: Handles time series arrays and matrices
• Parameter Configuration: Sets function-specific parameters
• Pipeline Workflows: Generates complete analytical pipelines
