if(err){
console.log('Connection Error');
throw err;
}
client.query(thatQueryAbove, function(err, rows){

defined in my query like 'name', 'occ' and 'hob'?
});
});
Can anyone lemme how to retrieve the data back using the alias of my SELECT statement in Node.js?

You can use the standard Node.js driver for mysql. The code to accomplish above will look like below
var mysql = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
host : 'localhost',
user : 'mysqluser',
password : 'yourpass',
database : 'dbname'
});
connection.connect();
connection.query('SELECT Username AS name,Occupation AS occ,Hobby AS hob FROM mt_User', function(err, rows, fields) {
if (err) throw err;
if(rows && rows.length>0)
console.log(rows[0].name, rows[0].occ, rows[0].hob);
else
console.log('No Results Found!');
});
