-    This C file contains functions that perform DB operations, which can take long time to complete.
-    For Eg: - Like SQLConnect, SQLFetch etc.
-
-    This file in general will contain functions that make CLI calls and 
-    depending on whether the call will be transferred to server or not the functions are termed long time comsuming or not.
-
-    The functions which will contact the server and hence can be time consuming will be called by ruby's (1.9 onwards)
-    rb_thread_blocking_region method, which inturn will release the GVL while these operations are being performed. 
-    With this the executing thread will become unblocking allowing concurrent threads perform operations simultaneously.
