If this is a SQL database with which you're using a dbapi module, you should probably be using twisted.enterprise.adbapi to make access to that database asynchronous. Under the hood it's using threads to make the interface asynchronous. Otherwise, if the only programmatic interface this database of yours has is blocking, then you'll probably need to use a thread yourself.
