node.js - sqlite3 read all records in table and return

Question

I\'m trying to read all records in a sqlite3 table and return them via callback. But it seems that despite using serialize these calls are still ASYNC. Here is my code:

Answer 1

I tackled this differently, since these calls are asynchronous you need to wait until they complete to return their data. I did it with a setInterval(), kind of like throwing pizza dough up into the air and waiting for it to come back down.

var reply = '';

db.all(query, [], function(err, rows){
    if(err != null) {
        reply = err;
    } else {
        reply = rows;
    }
});

var callbacker = setInterval(function(){
    // check that our reply has been modified yet
    if( reply !== '' ){
        // clear the interval
        clearInterval(callbacker);

        // do work

    }
}, 10); // every ten milliseconds
