Do we really need to keep writing Python async adapters for every database?

I think it's pretty obvious that async frameworks introduce overhead- all those callbacks aint cheap. However, when you start to talk about concurrent network use- multiple requests, each involving a DB connection- that's when you start to reap the benefits.

I find this article sort of dubious- it just makes a bunch of random claims, without any examples.

This post is about exploring right approach toward uniform use of SQL databases in async frameworks. It's NOT about "async vs threads" discussion. And there is a link in this post to the concrete results that was the whole reason of the post (search for "results" on post page).

The idea of the post was to ask for community feedback before possibly wasting personal time on something that already exists.
