Looking Up a Single Database Record

If you want to retrieve a single database record from a Mobile Service then you can call the MobileServiceTable lookup() method like this:

var id= 3;tasksTable.lookup(id).done(    // Success    function (result) {},    // Fail    function (err) {});

You pass the id of the record that you want to retrieve to the lookup() method. The id should be an integer and represent a primary key value.

If there is no matching record then an error is returned and the promise error function is executed.
