Converting results from arraybuffers to string values

test6 = function(){
    database.query("select id, name from users order by name", 
        function (err, rs) {
            if (err) {logError(err); return}
            
            // get results using array loop
            for (i=0;i<rs.length;i++) {
                console.log( rs[i].id, ab2str(rs[i].name));
            }
            
            console.log('------------------------------');

            // alternatively, get results using foreach
            rs.forEach(function(row){
                console.log( row.id, ab2str(row.name));
            });
        }
    );
};

function ab2str(buf) {
   return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint16Array(buf));
}

function str2ab(str) {
  var buf = new ArrayBuffer(str.length*2); // 2 bytes for each char
  var bufView = new Uint16Array(buf);
  for (var i=0, strLen=str.length; i<strLen; i++) {
    bufView[i] = str.charCodeAt(i);
  }
  return buf;
