Asyncio support

[sharkguto]

Is there any plan to support asyncio for ctds, like asyncpg?

Not currently. For real support, one would either have to implement the TDS protocol from scratch or use the async APIs in ODBC. I would guess Microsoft's ODBC driver supports the async APIs, though I haven't confirmed that. I would also guess that FreeTDS does not fully support the async ODBC APIs.

As a work-around, one could use an executor to offload the synchronous calls in ctds to a background thread.

Will this ever be possible?
