Abstract
A method includes receiving instructions to perform order-dependent DataFrame operation on data. In response to receiving the instructions, the framework analyzes the instructions to identify the order-dependent DataFrame operation, and generates an executable query corresponding to the identified order-dependent DataFrame operation. The framework executes the generated executable query on the data stored in the first database in the cloud data platform, creates a row position column that generates for each row a unique integer identifier, reproducible across multiple sessions and/or queries for the same underlying data to make the data accessible via positional indexing, and assigns each row of the first database a unique row index value based on the row position column and the row position column order. The framework orders a result from performing the order-dependent DataFrame operation based on the unique row index value assigned to each row of the first database, and returns the ordered result to the user.
