Asynchronous operation

Open krlmlr opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

It would be great to be able to interrupt a query that takes a long time to run and return records. For this it seems we need to look into asynchronous execution with polling: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/reference/develop-app/asynchronous-execution-polling-method?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=sql-server-ver15 .

A first glance into nanodbc suggests that some form of callback is supported. For drivers that support this, we could then execute asynchronously and poll for completion and also call checkUserInterrupt().

https://github.com/r-dbi/RPostgres/pull/193 contains an implementation for libpq, we could model after this, including the argument name.
