+/// Allows the caller to request a specific schema based on prior

+/// consistent schema when executing queries against a database
+/// with row-based types (e.g., SQLite) or a database whose types
+/// are implemented with row-based parameters where Arrow prefers
+/// type-level parameters (e.g., NUMERIC for PostgreSQL).
