70+ ----------------------
71+
72+ While there are other packages that accomplish the goal of using SQL with pandas
73+ DataFrames, all other packages such as pandasql _ actually use a database on the
74+ backend which defeats the purpose of using pandas _ to begin with. In the case of
75+ pandasql _ which uses SQLite, this can result in major performance bottlenecks.
76+ ``dataframe_sql `` actually performs native pandas operations in memory on DataFrames,
77+ which avoids conflicts that may arise from using external databases.
