anyone show me with some help.

Dunno. You would need to open a socket back to the server on which MySQL
resides.

deeply dangerous practice.

Use serverside php instead.

You can do this indirectly by using HTTPRequest. You can do this from
within JavaScript and have a script run on the server which can query
your database and return the results as a string. Anything you output in
the script (e.g. via echo with PHP) gets returned to your Javascript. I
tend to structure the string on the server side so it's easily parsed
into an array for JavaScript use.

By the way why are you posting from Google? I normally filter all Google
posts out.

You need AJAX. Basically you would be sending a request to the server
and have a script there query the DB and return the information to you.

Can you explain it to me in a brief way. With some examples.
