Putting Pandas in a Box
Summary: Transpiles Pandas scripts into DBMS-executable SQL, pushing core DataFrame ops and external file access into the database. Automatically converts Python UDFs to SQL UDFs to run complex computations in-DB (e.g., model-join for scoring pre-trained ML models). (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
