Is there such a thing as a non-blocking SQL query? Doesn't it always have to be wrapped up in something to make it non-blocking?

I think my question is: Is there an SQL ORM in any language that is non-blocking during queries, without the programmer having to wrap it in some sort of promise/callback/whatever? I really have no idea about ORMs, so I don't know anything about the state of the art. I'm trying to imagine what such a creature would look like...it seems like if your queries are going to potentially make you wait for any amount of time, you'd need to account for that at the caller side, even if things happen on the ORM side.
