Database access from Javascript?

[Mikhail Teterin]

Hello!

A major application we are using allows extending itself with custom
JavaScript. They embed Rhino implementation of JS (written in Java).

There is no apparent built-in way to access databases (Sybase, MS SQL) in
the language itself -- are there extensions, that we can load dynamically
into the JavaScript interpreter embedded into the application?

Thanks!

Rhino supports LiveConnect meaning JavaScript can create Java objects so
you could try to use the Java classes for data base access from
JavaScript, see
