Javascript is a client-side language, the code is executed by the user's browser. It has no way to connect to the database server and run queries so you need to use a server-side programming language like Java (JDBC), PhP, Perl, etc. Tomcat is a decent servlet engine with a nice price tag (free) and PhP/Perl are pretty easy to get working with an Apache server. If you've never done this before, I'd advise to use PhP as it has the smallest learning curve in my opnion.
