        Write records stored in a DataFrame to a SQL database.

        Parameters

        frame: DataFrame
        name: string
            Name of SQL table.
        if_exists: {'fail', 'replace', 'append'}, default 'fail'
            fail: If table exists, do nothing.
            replace: If table exists, drop it, recreate it, and insert data.
            append: If table exists, insert data. Create if it does not exist.
        index : boolean, default True
            Write DataFrame index as a column
        index_label : string or sequence, default None
            Column label for index column(s). If None is given (default) and
            `index` is True, then the index names are used.
            A sequence should be given if the DataFrame uses MultiIndex.
        schema : string, default None
            Ignored parameter included for compatibility with SQLAlchemy
            version of ``to_sql``.
        chunksize : int, default None
            If not None, then rows will be written in batches of this
            size at a time. If None, all rows will be written at once.
        dtype : single type or dict of column name to SQL type, default None
            Optional specifying the datatype for columns. The SQL type should
            be a string. If all columns are of the same type, one single value
            can be used.
        method : {None, 'multi', callable}, default None
            Controls the SQL insertion clause used:

            * None : Uses standard SQL ``INSERT`` clause (one per row).
            * 'multi': Pass multiple values in a single ``INSERT`` clause.
            * callable with signature ``(pd_table, conn, keys, data_iter)``.

            Details and a sample callable implementation can be found in the
