What are the differences between async and sync database operations?

Async database operations allow other tasks to run while waiting for a database response, improving efficiency. Sync operations block the execution until the database responds.

Can you give me an example of when to use async operations?

Sure! Use async operations in web applications where you want to keep the user interface responsive while fetching data.

Are there any downsides to using async operations?

Yes, async operations can complicate error handling and make the code harder to read due to callbacks or promises.

How do I implement async database operations in my application?

You can use libraries like Node.js with Promises or async/await syntax to implement async database operations.
