dask.dataframe.read_sql(sql, con, index_col, **kwargs)[source]

Read SQL query or database table into a DataFrame.

This function is a convenience wrapper around read_sql_table and read_sql_query. It will delegate to the specific function depending on the provided input. A SQL query will be routed to read_sql_query, while a database table name will be routed to read_sql_table. Note that the delegated function might have more specific notes about their functionality not listed here.
