nodejs sqlite3 db.run as a bluebird promise

I'm attempting to use sqlite3 in a express app. Basically, I get a rest request, based on the rest request, I query an external REST request. Between the response from the external request & the data passed in from the original REST request, I then do an update or insert into one of my sqlite3 tables.

The problem I'm running into, is that in db.run(sqlStatement, paramArray, function(err)), the function(err) is a callback where err is either an error, or a nil. In addition to that, IF the err param is null, then the this reference contains 2 properties, one of which tells me the number of rows modified by the statement. (https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/wiki/API#databaserunsql-param--callback for reference)

Thing is, I run bluebird's promisifyAll on the sqlite3 module, and then use the resultant

db.runAsync(sqlStatement, paramArray).then(err) {
    console.log(this) //results in a null
}

So I'm unable to actually figure out whether anything was updated.

My entire section of code looks a little like this:

function handleRequest(req, res) {

    //this returns the response as the first object
    request.getAsync('http://www.example.com', reqObj)         
        .then(prepareDbObjects) //prepares an array of objects to update the DB with
        .then(attemptUpdate)
        .then(function(rowsUpdated) {
            res.json(rowsUpdated)
        }
}

function attemptUpdate(updateObjs) {
    var promiseMap = Promise.map(updateObjs, function(singleObj) {
        return updateOrInsertObj(singleObj)
    }
    return promiseMap
}


function updateOrInsertObj(singleObj) {
    return db.runAsync(sqlStatement, singleObj)
        .then(function(err) {
            if(err) {
                //handle error
            } else {
                console.log("this should be an object with 2 properties", this)
                //but instead it is null
            }
        }
}
