Okay, but hmm. 

I do not see how this helps in the case if a remote DBMS do not answer 30
seconds or even 5 minutes ...

We can regularly call REALYieldToRB only if we have some loop in OUR C++
functions of plugin ...

So above claim sounds strange for me.
SQLSelect() is a thing wrapper function to call of remote DBMS API.

SomeResult SQLSelect( inQuery )
{
      return pSomeDB->Query( inQuery );
}
 

I could yet understand, if they mention method which in loop read records of
result and do something with them in loop.

Okay, anyway I have catch idea.

Once again, thank you.
