@cjbj Thank you for your comment!

My ultimate goal is to utilize the recently released aysnc feature.

According to this article, thick mode will not support asyncio. Changing to TLS is not an option for me, as I am not a server-side DBA.

Is there currently no way to use async?

Thick mode cannot support asyncio as there is no direct access to the socket, so no way to handle events from I/O. And thin mode doesn't support NNE currently. So at the moment you cannot use asyncio with that database, unfortunately. Although you could use a thread pool to make use of asyncio manually my own experiments with that have shown that the performance is much worse than the normal synchronous approach -- so not much point in doing so!

Closing as answered - we recognize the issues that are pain points.
