Description
Summary
Hi team, I'm wondering after we've loaded lance dataset, can we add SQL support, so we only view fields / columns we care about? For example, I have 20+ columns, rendering of the columns is expensive and visually messy.
Use case
See issue description for details.
Proposed approach
No response
Design constraint check
- I have read CONTRIBUTING.md and this proposal does not conflict with the load-bearing design constraints.

Research direction
Start by locating the code path that loads a Lance dataset and renders its columns, then determine where SQL querying or column selection would fit. Done means users can request only the fields they need and avoid rendering the full set of columns; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
