Research direction
This issue requests support for Atlas SQL, which is MongoDB's SQL interface. To implement this, a newcomer should start by examining Cube's existing data source adapters, particularly the MongoDB adapter if it exists. Look at the 'cubejs backend core' directory and related packages for adapter patterns. Check comments on this issue (e.g., from maintainers or users) for any specific requirements or work already done. Investigate how Cube currently handles SQL dialects and see if there is a generic SQL adapter that can be extended. The goal is to understand the integration points for adding a new database driver.
