Please add an information about supported SQL DBs (and how to integrate unsupported !) with references to https://kotlin.github.io/dataframe/sql.html.

Can be interesting that columns store any values, not just primitives or predefined set of types. List, File, Map, user objects - DataFrame offers fully generic storage.
(It's mentioned in It can be created from any source but i missed it, my attention went mostly to tables :) )

Added details on setting up Kotlin DataFrame in Gradle projects, clarified DDL/DML equivalents, and enhanced examples. Updated TOC with a new Hibernate Interop reference and improved formatting consistency across sections.
