Node MySQL: Return A Value From A Column

        prefix = value.prefix;
        console.log(value.prefix) // doesn't fire
    }

Try letting the sql engine include the variable value via sql parameters instead of using string interpolation. I mean something like:

connection.query('SELECT * FROM guilds WHERE guildid = ?',[message.guild.id], function(error, commands) { ...

What is the value of message.guild.id?
