There is more than one way of doing more than one thing at a time.
Multithreading is one way, and multiprocessing is another.

BTW, even though MySQL is multithreaded, any thread that modifies a
table (update, delete, insert) will block all other threads on that table
until it completes.

Therefore, multithreading or multiprocessing has little to do with any
parallelism a rdms may utilize. You have to look deeper.
