    function User_Get( SteamID )


        local query = MySQL:query("SELECT ID FROM users WHERE steamid = '"..SteamID.."'")
        local out


        function query.onSuccess( q, data )


            out = table.Count(data)


        end
        function query.onError( q, err, sql )


            print(err)
            print(sql)


        end
        query:start()
        print("fun")
        print(out)
        return out


    end

The following code returns nil? But there is obviously a row in the DB. And when I print table.Count(data) in onSuccess it comes out 1. Why is this?
