I've been through the mysql doc for the C API in both mysql 4.0 and 4.1, but I don't see anything that explicitly supports non-blocking and/or cancel-able operations. For example, the mysql_real_query API doesn't take a timeout value and doesn't have any way to issue an asynchronous request. The mysql_real_connect API doesn't support anything to mark a connection as non-blocking. There's no API to obtain the underlying socket descriptor to manipulate this.
Is this something that anyone else has an interest in? I know that this can be achieved (although somewhat brutally) using threads and killing threads, but this concerns me as it may cause corruption issues with lost connections/open tables - it seems to me that this support should be native to the software. Thx for any feedback/ideas. -R
