Query error in the "best selling products" question in dashboard after sandboxing

[heypoom]

Data sandboxing is implemented in #30, but the "Best Selling Products" (https://shoppy.hosted.staging.metabase.com/question/140-best-selling-products-crash-on-sandboxing) query was running into errors when under sandboxing.

When not under sandboxing, the question itself loads without issues. It is using the "Orders + Products" model (see https://shoppy.hosted.staging.metabase.com/model/139-orders-products) which joins together Orders and Products.

When under sandboxing, a query processor error was thrown.

Models

@bshepherdson I added the problematic queries as well as more info on the models to the issues. I've also invited you to the Shoppy instance to be able to look more into the queries.

The account with [email protected] will give you sandboxed access to be able to replicate the query error, while the @metabase.com account gives you full admin permission.

Let me know if you need anything else - thanks a ton!
