# Getting Started with Async
Vapor is powered by Apple's [SwiftNIO](https://github.com/apple/swift-nio), a powerful non-blocking networking framework. If you are using the fully-powered Vapor framework to create a website, then you will likely not need to use this directly. However, if you are using a lower-level library (like a Database framework) then you will need to understand a little about how it works.
## Workers
Vapor's async abstraction is built on a few pieces, including the async [`Worker`](https://github.com/vapor-community/async/blob/1.0.0-rc.1.1/Sources/Async/EventLoop/Worker.swift). This protocol has an `eventLoop`, which fits nicely with SwiftNIO's constructs.
### Example
You need to create a SwiftNIO [`EventGroup`](https://github.com/apple/swift-nio/blob/master/README.md#eventloops-and-eventloopgroups) that can power the connection:
```
let database = MySQLDatabase(config: config)
let worker = MultiThreadedEventLoopGroup(numThreads: System.coreCount)
let futureConnection = database.makeConnection(on: worker)
```

You can of course override this config struct if you have non-standard credentials.

### Create (manually)
If you are writing a simple tool and would like to use the `MySQL` wrapper, it is also quite simple. You need to create a SwiftNIO [`EventGroup`](https://github.com/apple/swift-nio/blob/master/README.md#eventloops-and-eventloopgroups) that can power the connection:
```
let database = MySQLDatabase(config: config)
let worker = MultiThreadedEventLoopGroup(numThreads: System.coreCount)
let futureConnection = database.makeConnection(on: worker)
```
If you are writing a simple tool and would like to use the `MySQL` wrapper directly, it is also quite simple. You should read up on Vapor's [async `Worker`](../../async/getting-started.md) to power the connection.
### Simply Query
Use `.simpleQuery(_:)` to perform a query on your MySQL database that does not bind any parameters. Some queries you send to MySQL may actually require that you use the `simpleQuery(_:)` method instead of the parameterized method.

!!! note
This method sends and receives data as text-encoded, meaning it is not optimal for transmitting things like integers.
```swift
let rows = req.withPooledConnection(to: .mysql) { conn in
return conn.simpleQuery("SELECT * FROM users;")

You can also provide a callback, similar to simple queries, for handling each row individually.
