difference between synchronous and asynchronous in node js
// Example 1 - Synchronous (blocks)
var result = database.query("SELECT * FROM hugetable");
console.log("Query finished");
console.log("Next line");
// Example 2 - Asynchronous (doesn't block)
database.query("SELECT * FROM hugetable", function(result) {
console.log("Query finished");
});
console.log("Next line");
