Pandas to_sql method should accept database URI as con parameter

Hello,

This enhancement is quite similar to https://github.com/pydata/pandas/issues/10654

to_sql method should accept database URI as con parameter

So we could do

import pandas as pd
db_uri = 'dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database'
query = 'SELECT * FROM table'
df.to_sql("table", db_uri)

instead of :

import pandas as pd
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
db_uri = 'dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database'
engine = create_engine(db_uri)
df.to_sql("table", engine)

Might apply to : - Series http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.Series.to_sql.html - Panel http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.Panel.to_sql.html - and DataFrame http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.to_sql.html

Blaze uses table URI like 'dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database::table' so passing table as parameter is not necessary, as it is contained inside (table) URI but It may be difficult to mimic this API without breaking eggs (con should be first parameter and table should be second with a default None value)

Kind regards

This can be done together with doing this for read_sql, so closing this in favor of #10654
