Question about usage in async code

[algermissen]

I am wondering how to properly use redb in multithreaded, async IO code (using Tokio). Can someone clarify the following?

Where and how many Database variables do I have to create? Do I create one in main and wrap it into an Arc<Mutex<..>> and clone it between threads? [Edit: I have just seen that Database and ReadTransactions are Send and Sync and WriteTransaction is Sync - I'll try to work from that and just share everything :-) ... but still it would be nice the hear what others think]

What should be shared across threads and what should not be shared? I saw the multithreaded benchmark, but that only works when I have control over what happens on which thread - in async IO code, that kind of control is not possible and I wonder how to integrate redb into async programs properly.

Any ideas or pointers?

I haven't tried async, but redb does its own concurrency control, so you don't need the Mutex. Just Arc<Database> should work fine

Thank you - yes, seems to work just fine.
