I agree with Jingsong. +1 to keep `sqlQuery`, it's clear from the method name and return type that it accepts a SELECT query and returns a logic representation `Table`. The `fromQuery` is a little confused users with the `Table from(String tableName)` method.
Regarding to the `DmlBatch`, I agree with Jingsong, AFAIK, the purpose of `DmlBatch` is used to batching insert statements. Besides, DML terminology is not commonly know among users. So what about `InsertsBatching startBatchingInserts()` ?
