Asynchronous calls are most useful when facing relatively infrequent large, expensive operations that could tie up response threads which could otherwise be servicing requests while the originator waits. For quick, common operations, async can slow things down.
SQL Server allows applications to perform asynchronous database operations. Asynchronous processing enables methods to return immediately without blocking on the calling thread.
To execute task functions, you need to add " await " before the function call. This will execute the function, and return the " Result " to the variable should one be specified. Variables do not need to be specified. You can call the function using " await " which will run the task without retrieving a result.
Asynchronous executionAn asynchronous query execute call does not block for results. Instead, a future is immediately returned from the asynchronous execute call. A future is a placeholder object that stands in for the result until the result is returned from the database.
