/* Interface for datasets. A dataset is a collection of data samples, where each
 * sample consists of an image and a label. The dataset is stored in a SQLite
 * database, where each sample is stored as a row in a table. The table has the
 * following columns: - id: an integer primary key that uniquely identifies the
 * sample - image: a blob that contains the image data - label: an integer that
 * represents the label of the sample. The dataset provides methods for
 * retrieving samples and saving new samples to the database. The get method
 * retrieves a sample by its index, and the save method saves a batch of samples
 * to the database. The dataset also provides methods for retrieving and saving
 * images, which are used internally by the get and save methods. The dataset is
 * designed to be used with the IData interface, which represents a single data
 * sample. The IData interface provides methods for accessing the image and
 * label of a sample, and for saving the sample to the database. The dataset is
 * intended to be used in machine learning applications, where it can be used to
 * train and evaluate models on a collection of labeled images. */
