            SQL query to be executed

            Column name to use as index for the returned DataFrame object.
        coerce_float : boolean, default True
            Attempt to convert values to non-string, non-numeric objects (like
            decimal.Decimal) to floating point, useful for SQL result sets
        params : list, tuple or dict, optional
            List of parameters to pass to execute method.  The syntax used

            database driver documentation for which of the five syntax styles,
            described in PEP 249's paramstyle, is supported.
            Eg. for psycopg2, uses %(name)s so use params={'name' : 'value'}
        parse_dates : list or dict
            - List of column names to parse as dates
            - Dict of ``{column_name: format string}`` where format string is
              strftime compatible in case of parsing string times or is one of
              (D, s, ns, ms, us) in case of parsing integer timestamps
            - Dict of ``{column_name: arg dict}``, where the arg dict corresponds
              to the keyword arguments of :func:`pandas.to_datetime`
              Especially useful with databases without native Datetime support,

    Notes
    -----
    This function is deprecated in favor of ``to_sql``. There are however
    two differences:

    - With ``to_sql`` the index is written to the sql database by default. To
      keep the behaviour this function you need to specify ``index=False``.
    - The new ``to_sql`` function supports sqlalchemy engines to work with
      different sql flavors.
