\class ROOT::RDF::RSqliteDS
\ingroup dataframe
\brief RSqliteDS is an RDF data source implementation for SQL result sets from sqlite3 files.
 
The RSqliteDS is able to feed an RDataFrame with data from a SQlite SELECT query. One can use it like
 
    auto rdf = ROOT::RDF::FromSqlite("/path/to/file.sqlite", "select name from table");
    auto h = rdf.Define("lName", "name.length()").Histo1D("lName");
 
The data source has to provide column types for all the columns. Determining column types in SQlite is tricky
as it is dynamically typed and in principle each row can have different column types. The following heuristics
is used:
 
  - If a table column is queried as is ("SELECT colname FROM table"), the default/declared column type is taken.
  - For expressions ("SELECT 1+1 FROM table"), the type of the first row of the result set determines the column type.
    That can result in a column to be of thought of type NULL where subsequent rows actually have meaningful values.
    The provided SELECT query can be used to avoid such ambiguities.
