returning table through sql function

[StickmanJohn]

so im having some troubles...

local ply = FindMetaTable("Player")
function ply:ReturnTable()
  local returnt = db:query("SELECT * FROM `gmrp` WHERE `steamid`='" .. self:SteamID() .. "'")
  function returnt:onSuccess(data)
    return util.JSONToTable(data[1]["tab"])
  end
  returnt:start()
end

when i call this in a print function for example it returns nothing at all :P i was wondering if there is a reason why?

i have a feeling it is because its inside the onsuccess function but i have no clue how to make it return from the main ReturnTable function

You can't. Not unless you want your server to lock up until the query finishes. Your solution is to just do everything in the success callback.
