Yes, GET DIAGNOSTICS is in 5.5 (and anyway, a workaround for older versions should be possible, correct?). Some comments: 1) The LIFO tables sounds to me a little dangerous. Of course "asynchronous" means "asynchronous", but under certain circumstances some queries could wait too much... don't you agree? Maybe the direction could depend from an option... 2) SELECT queries are "materialized", which is cool. But I don't understand how the user can associate an async query with the results table. 3) In MariaDB, the P_S is disabled by default, and a user can still disable it in MySQL. Also, in MariaDB global_status is in I_S, while MySQL has it in P_S (another funny incompatibility developed by Oracle). The first problem can probably be addressed with CONNECT (SRCDEF='show processlist') and the second with a view in async schema. Would you accept a patch? Probably more comments/questions will come. In the meanwhile, thanks for your work (again). bye Federico -------------------------------------------- Mer 24/2/16, Justin Swanhart <greenlion@gmail.com> ha scritto: Oggetto: Re: [Maria-discuss] New Question: Non-blocking calls from PHP A: "Federico Razzoli" <federico_raz@yahoo.it> Cc: "Maria Discuss" <maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net> Data: Mercoledì 24 febbraio 2016, 16:04 Hi, It is completely native.  It consists of a queue table, a thread state table, a settings table, a stored procedure worker, an event to execute the worker (more than one run in parallel) and procs to drop off, check on, and get the results of a SQL statement (which always waits if the SQL is not done yet). I don't know if MariaDB 5.5 or 10 adds GET DIAGNOSTICS, but it will work with any version that has it.  You can comment that out and just put a generic error into the table if it isn't supported, and it will work with any version that has SIGNAL. --Justin On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 10:01 AM, Federico Razzoli <federico_raz@yahoo.it> wrote: Hi Justin! The name reminds me a a fatal trap for developers and sys admins (async npm module), but the tools sounds useful. Is it publicly available? Is it entirely implemented via stored procedures + event scheduler? bye Federico -------------------------------------------- Mer 24/2/16, Justin Swanhart <greenlion@gmail.com> ha scritto:  Oggetto: Re: [Maria-discuss] New Question: Non-blocking calls from PHP  A: "AskMonty KB" <noreply@askmonty.org>  Cc: "Maria Discuss" <maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net>  Data: Mercoledì 24 febbraio 2016, 15:32  Replying  here in addition to the web page (ugh Frankenstein's  monster)...  I just finished  the first version of 'async' which runs queries in  the background (in parallel!) using a queue table, a crafty  stored procedure for a worker thread, and an event which  executes the workers.  http://swanhart.livejournal.com/138754.html  On Sun, Feb 21, 2016 at  8:55 AM, AskMonty KB <noreply@askmonty.org>  wrote:  Hello,  A new question has been asked in " MariaDB Connector/C  API Functions" by shestero.
