Raise on SQLAlchemy minimal version violation Issue #57178

[SoulofAkuma]

• closes ENH: Not silently ignore violation of minimal required version of SQLAlchemy #57178 (Replace xxxx with the GitHub issue number)
• No tests added, as I only error modified an error message string. (https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/dev/development/contributing_codebase.html#writing-tests) if fixing a bug or adding a new feature
• All code checks passed.
• Added type annotations to new arguments/methods/functions.
• Added an entry in the latest doc/source/whatsnew/vX.X.X.rst file if fixing a bug or adding a new feature.

as I cannot run them locally due to the required db setup.

You can use this docker-compose file and setup the databases with docker compose up

services:
  mysql:
    image: mysql:9
    environment:
      MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD: yes
      MYSQL_DATABASE: pandas
    ports:
      - 3306:3306

  postgres:
    image: postgres:17
    environment:
      PGUSER: postgres
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
      POSTGRES_DB: pandas
    ports:
      - 5432:5432

Thanks, this is very useful. After review with @mroeschke , I will change the approach to this, which will just boil down to modifying the existing error message.

If this requires an entry in an rst file let me know. Not sure what version of the rst file that would be
