Sync/Async I/O

[robhol]

I was wondering whether file and SQLite I/O was synchronous or asynchronous?

I seem to remember them being synchronous, but I'm not sure, so I'd like some confirmation.

And how is the MySQL module? It seems to me that that would almost have to be async, due to the potential delays in querying a remote server.

AFAIK, file and SQLite functions are synchronous. Not sure if MySQL is synchronous though but probably is too. I wonder why you asked these questions here not IRC where most devs are?

School and IRC generally don't mix all that well, so I figured I'd ask here.

Thanks for replying.
