feature request: pandas connector about python-spanner

[larkee]

Thank you for your patience!

We've started work on an SQLAlchemy connector and will continue with work for a couple of quarters. As mentioned, this should cover your use case.

@daniellehanks Thank you for sharing your interest in this work! The SQLAlchemy connector work is being done here. You can follow the progress there. As noted in the README, it is still under production and is not ready for production use.

I just stumbled across this. I've wanted this for a long time and it would be a game changer for my company. Is there an issue we can track for updates on this development?

@larkee @vi3k6i5 : Given python-spanner-SQLAlchemy is now GA, is this use case covered?

It'd be good to check that it does indeed work with pandas.read_sql in a code sample or something. I would expect it to work, though.

Since Spanner is row-oriented, I don't see there being all that much of a performance reason to avoid SQLAlchemy (compared to BigQuery which is column-oriented).

@IlyaFaer Can you check for this?
