You can do this with blockUI if what you're planning to display is
reasonably succinct. When you have the database results in your ajax
callback, assuming it is HTML, you can do something like this:
$.get(someUrl, function(data) {
var html = '<div>' + data + '</div><button>OK</button>';
$.blockUI({ message: html });
$('div.blockUI button').click($.unblockUI);
});
Another option would be to use jQuery UI Dialog:
