Update dataset metadata (visibility, description, etc.) and optionally write new rows to the table. Writing new data will replace the existing data in the table. Requires write or admin permission on the dataset.
# Option 1: All rows as a Pandas DataFrame
df = ouro.datasets.query(dataset_id)
print(df.head())
# Option 2: Read-only SQL — pass a query string; use {{table}} as the placeholder

"SELECT col, count(*) AS n FROM {{table}} GROUP BY col ORDER BY n DESC",
)import pandas as pd

# Update dataset data (replaces existing data)
