Pandas DataFrame accessor for BigQuery DataFrames functionality.
This accessor is registered under the ``bigquery`` namespace on pandas DataFrame objects.

def sql_scalar(self, sql_template: str, *, output_dtype=None, session=None):
"""
Compute a new pandas Series by applying a SQL scalar function to the DataFrame.
The DataFrame is converted to BigFrames by calling ``read_pandas``, then the SQL
template is applied using ``bigframes.bigquery.sql_scalar``, and the result is
converted back to a pandas Series using ``to_pandas``.
Args:
sql_template (str):
A SQL format string with Python-style {0}, {1}, etc. placeholders for each of
the columns in the DataFrame (in the order they appear in ``df.columns``).
output_dtype (a BigQuery DataFrames compatible dtype, optional):
If provided, BigQuery DataFrames uses this to determine the output
of the returned Series. This avoids a dry run query.
session (bigframes.session.Session, optional):
The BigFrames session to use. If not provided, the default global session is used.
Returns:
pandas.Series:
The result of the SQL scalar function as a pandas Series.
