Guess SQL Server isn't a real SQL DB then.

MS had to build Service Broker, especially to assist with asynchronous
operations.

Summary: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Broker is a new platform for
building 
distributed asynchronous database applications. Including an asynchronous,
reliable 
messaging feature in the SQL Server database makes it possible to build a
variety of 
database applications that were difficult, if not impossible, to build
before.

Why is the default connection method to SQL Server synchronous?
