Multithreaded database query

[valentynbez]

Hello! I use Python foldcomp interface. Sometimes I need to retrieve 10k structures from a DB. As for now, I can only do it one by one in a for loop. Could this be sped up using multithreading somehow? Thanks!

EDIT: I guess I solved it this way, querying db doesn't take much RAM

import foldcomp 
from multiprocess import Pool

def retrieve_structure(idx, afdb):
    with foldcomp.open(afdb, ids=[idx]) as db:
        for i, pdb in db:
            structure = pdb 
    return structure

with Pool(2) as p:
    structures = p.map(retrieve_structure, ids)
