Note: This program will work only in Internet Explorer.
In this article I will explain how to connect to a SQL database with JavaScript and how to get data from the database.
First I create a database called EmpDetail. Then I created a table in this database.
Query Code
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[emp](
[id] [int] NULL,
[name] [varchar](50) NULL,
[salary] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Now insert some data into the emp table.

span.style.color = "Blue";
span.innerText = " ID "+" Name "+" Salary";
document.body.appendChild(span);
while (!rs.eof)
{
var span = document.createElement("span");
span.style.color = "green";
span.innerText = "\n " + rs.fields(0) +" | "+ rs.fields(1) +" | "+ rs.fields(2);
document.body.appendChild(span);
rs.MoveNext();
}
rs.close();
connection.close();
