title: jQuery & SQL Server without using .NET or PHP
body: <p>I am new to jQuery, and creating a web page to teach myself how to do some things with it.  Among other things, I would like to read from a SQL Server database, write to it, and call stored procedures.  </p>
  
  <p>A feature of my test page is to have a button on the top half of the page that you click on &amp; would call the stored procedure, and the bottom of this web page to read &amp; refresh as data is written to a table (<em>Note: since most of the actions are subsequent to calling the stored procedure, I am considering using a trigger on a SQL Server table which will write to the table being refreshed</em>).  </p>
  
  <p>Using jQuery 1.9.1, jquery-ui 1.10.2, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 &amp; 2012. Currently testing with the Express versions of SQL Server. I am limited in that I will not be able to use ASP.NET or PHP in order to create a web service.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to find a tutorial, step-by-step, or other reference/guide that would:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>let me know if what I want to do is possible (given the limits I will have), </li>
  <li>and provide some instruction on how to go about it.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I've been able to create a web service that retrieves RSS data, and find a number of how-to's for those.  Ajax is used to retrieve that data, but I have not been able to find any helpful instruction that does not use ASP.NET or PHP to do so. </p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate any thoughts, instruction or direction in using jQuery in reading from &amp; writing to a SQL Server database.  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
