Ok, but in this situation, it looks to me as if you would benefit from a "real" embedded version of MonetDB, where you just talk to a library instead, omitting all costs of Mapi/TCP and simply stick to method calls.
Is this what's mentioned in the docs/examples as embedded mode, or even lower level? I thought about using it embedded, but what scared me a bit is that locking is turned of completely when using it this way, and so big transactions could make smaller ones wait. OTOH real big transactions are not very probable for my usecase and the embedded version is probably very very fast :).
Is asynchronous equal to non-blocking IO in your case? The latter one should be too hard, I suppose...
Yep, it implies non-blocking IO. All right.. I think first I should see how the embedded stuff works out. thanks for the suggestion, Johann
