I'm interested in this just for the use case of 'a sql frontend for polars' - I wonder if just that part could be used independently?

Polars has basic SQL support already, it’s just not that well documented. You’ll need to compile Polars with the ‘sql’ feature flag.

Not sure what the process looks like through the Python API. Maybe @ritchie46 can chime in?

However, full sql support is on the roadmap. It's just a matter of hours in a day...

Polars is adding that feature itself. You probably just have to wait a couple weeks
