Overflowing text in cvskill in Awesome-CV

awesome-cvcvresumetables

I am trying to format my cv using the awesome-cv.cls. The cvskills are overflowing. Can someone please help me on how to wrap the texts? I have changed the cvskills environment a little bit:

% Define an environment for cvskill
\newenvironment{cvskills}{%
  \vspace{\acvSectionContentTopSkip}
  \vspace{-2.0mm}
  \begin{center}
    \setlength\tabcolsep{1ex}
    \setlength{\extrarowheight}{0pt}
    \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} r L{\textwidth * \real{3}}}
}{%
    \end{tabular*}
  \end{center}
}
% Define a line of cv information(skill)
% Usage: \cvskill{<type>}{<skillset>}
\newcommand*{\cvskill}[2]{%
    \skilltypestyle{#1} & \skillsetstyle{#2} \\
}

enter image description here

Add before \begin{document} (and using the original class)

% Define an environment for cvskill
\newlength{\category}
\settowidth{\category}{Database \& query languages} % Category with longer text 
\renewenvironment{cvskills}{%
    \vspace{\acvSectionContentTopSkip}
    \vspace{-2.0mm}
    \begin{center}
        \setlength\tabcolsep{1ex}
        \setlength{\extrarowheight}{0pt}
        \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} R{\category-2\tabcolsep} L{\textwidth -\category -2\tabcolsep}} % changed <<<<<<<<
        }{%
        \end{tabular*}
    \end{center}
}

This will accommodate the widest "Category" of skill in the left column and use the remaining space for the "Skills".
