Well, if a host environment provides the objects for data base access
then JavaScript can access the data base. MS JScript on Windows has
new ActiveXObject('Program.Id')
to instantiate COM objects and there are ADODB objects for database
access which can be instantiated in an ASP page or a Windows Script Host
program or probably if needed even in a HTML page loaded in IE (if the
page is loaded locally and security settings are low enough).

However if your intention is to have an abritrary JavaScript supporting
browser loading a HTML page from a Web server access a data base server
elsewhere on the net then there are no ways to do that.
