A SELECT statement returning "Promise { <pending> }" typically indicates that you're working with JavaScript or a language that supports Promises, and you're using asynchronous code. Here are some common reasons for this behavior:
1. Promises are asynchronous: Promises are used for handling asynchronous operations in JavaScript. When you execute a SELECT statement or any other asynchronous operation, it returns a Promise that represents the eventual result of that operation.
2. You need to await the Promise: To get the actual result of the SELECT statement, you should use the `await` keyword if you're in an asynchronous function, or you can use `.then()` to handle the result when the Promise resolves. For example:
```javascript
async function fetchData() {
const result = await yourSelectStatement();
// Now you can work with the result
console.log(result);
}
```
Or with `.then()`:
```javascript
yourSelectStatement().then(result => {
// Handle the result
console.log(result);
});
```
3. Promise chaining: If your SELECT statement is part of a chain of Promises, ensure that you're handling the result at the appropriate point in the chain.
