Variant Support in SQL Alchemy

Databricks now supports the VARIANT data type, which works well in the UI and within Spark environments. However, when working with SQLAlchemy, the VARIANT type doesn't seem to be fully implemented in the latest databricks-sql-connector[sqlalchemy]. Could you provide a custom type snippet to use the VARIANT data type with SQLAlchemy?

This is actually an open source project. By looking at the code, it seems that VARIANT is not yet supported. Depending on your knowledge of the code base, you could create an own PR. Or just open an issue there, and wait for the support of the devs.
