SqlDataFrame in Expression Language

SqlDataFrame represents tabular data similar to a result of an SQL query. Data in the SqlDataFrames are processed in the original datasource where the data is located (not in the QPR ProcessAnalyzer server in-memory). For each SqlDataFrame, there is an SQL query that processes and generates the actual data in the datasource.

Running SqlDataFrames and operations between them don't yet execute the SQL in the original datasource. This happens when the Collect function is called for an SqlDataFrame, which executes the SQL query of the SqlDataFrames and loads the data into QPR ProcessAnalyzer server in-memory dataframe (where it can be presented in a dashboard).

Each SqlDataFrames knows the datasource where the SQL query is executed.

There is a similar API for the SqlDataFrames as there is for the DataFrames.
