sorry that not all code is showing up as code, I don't know how to get it to.

Anyway, my issue is as follows:

When I call an async function from main, it works as expected to add a row to my database. Here is my main code:

#[async_std::main]
async fn main() {

 add_user_to_database("test".to_string(), "test".to_string(), "test".to_string(), "test".to_string()).await;

    let _ = listen(address_and_port);
}

however, when I try to call this async function from a non-main function:

pub fn server_register(stream: TcpStream, traffic: Vec<String>) {
    println!("here server registration");

    let username = traffic[1].clone();
    let pub_rsa_key = traffic[2].clone();
    let pub_dsa_key = traffic[3].clone();
    let pub_ntru_key = traffic[4].clone();

    println!("{:?}", pub_rsa_key);

   async { add_user_to_database(username, pub_rsa_key, pub_dsa_key, pub_ntru_key).await};

    println!("made it here");
}

it prints my rsa pubkey and the "made it here" string, but completely ignores the async block calling the database function.

async fn add_user_to_database(username: String, pub_rsa_key: String, pub_dsa_key: String, pub_ntru_key: String) -> Result<(), sqlx::Error> {

println!("add user");

    let pool = PgPoolOptions::new()
        .max_connections(5)
        .connect("postgres://username:password@localhost/postgres_db").await?;

        sqlx::query_as("INSERT INTO users (
            Values(
            $1,
            $2,
            $3,
            $4,
            $5
              )
        );")
        .bind(1)
        .bind(username)
        .bind(pub_rsa_key)
        .bind(pub_dsa_key)
        .bind(pub_ntru_key)
        .fetch_one(&pool).await?;

Ok(())
}

I have tried numerous things to get this working, but cannot figure out why the add_user_to_database function is never executed from the server_register() function. It never prints "add user", and no database row is added. When I do it from the main function, it works as expected and adds a row to the database.
