Description
I'm beginning to look at **Microsoft.Extensions.DataIngestion** pipelines. As a test, I considered using an `IngestionPipeline` to ingest content stored in a CMS SQL database and create a vector store for use with RAG. However, I'm unclear on how to implement it when the data to be ingested is stored in a database.
Currently, both overloads of the `ProcessAsync` method require file system objects.

and

Perhaps I misunderstand its purpose or how it's meant to be used, but it would appear that it can only ingest data originating from files. Is that the case?
