MySQL locking up the whole application when trying to run actions in a tokio spawn

[Power2All]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to RUST, but I'm not understanding something.
I've got a shared Pool which I initialize using a trait so that we can switch easly to MySQL or SQLite3 management.
When using MySQL, I create a tokio spawn, in which it waits for a certain amount of time, to execute a Insert batch.
When doing this insert batch, it seems like it's literally locking and freezing the rest of the application until it's done.
What am I doing wrong here, do I need to use a different method to make sure the rest of the application keeps on going while a tokio spawn is doing it's work ?

Explanation is appreciated, or examples how to avoid this.

Kind regards.

Little add to this, colleague I'm working with, didn't wrap the pool inside a Arc<>, is that needed to make it work correctly in a threaded/async environment ? Basically, I'm running AXUM, which freeze up when the MySQL activity is happening, until it's done, and it continues again.

I stopped using this crate now.
Using SQLX, since it is fully async compatible.
Seems this crate is not meant to be used in async apps, unless I switch to deadpool.
