Retrieving data from database in node.js

If i have this table on dataBase.js file:

client.query(
'CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS '+USER+
'(username VARCHAR(255), '+
'password VARCHAR(255), '+
'name VARCHAR(255), '+
'picture VARCHAR(255), '+
'PRIMARY KEY(username))'
);

and lets say i want to check if i have a given user already in my dataBase,

how can i get the data after running the following query? :

function checkUser(username,password){
client.query('SELECT username, password FROM ' + USER + 'WHERE username=?', [username] , 'AND password=?', [password] 
function (err, results, fields) {
        if (err) {
            throw err;
        }
 });
}

if an error occurred, it will be handled but how can get the needed data?

any help will be much appreciated!

if there is no errors, you have your data in the results

function checkUser(username,password,haveResult) {
    client.query('SELECT username, password FROM ' + USER + 'WHERE username=? AND password=?', [username, password],  
    function (err, results, fields) {
        if (err) {
            // problems
            throw err;
        } else {
            // do something with data - it is in results array
            var checkResult = true; // here something depending on query result
            haveResult(checkResult); // continue via callback
        }
    });
}


// use it
checkUser('bar', 'baz', function(isGood) {
    console.log('user is' + (isGood? 'good' : 'bad') );
});
