Which SQL database for Tornado has an asynchronous driver?

Question

I am looking for an SQL database I can use with Tornado, that supports:

• asynchronous I/O and
• Object Relational Mapping (ORM) data access.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Here is a list of all libraries supporting asynchronous I/O in Tornado:

Here is a talk I gave on this exact subject:

If you want both asynchronous I/O and a full fledged ORM (SQLAlchemy) then look into aiopg.
