In the implementation for a specific operation, you can do
	giop_main_iteration(FALSE);
to tell it to go and check if any incoming requests are available, and if
so handle them... This will still turn requests into a LIFO type of thing
though.

You're going to either have to use threads, or build your DB request
processing code to operate in a non-blocking fashion...
