I made a database that holds information about clinical trials and so far I have been accessing and writing to it using php. I was wondering if there was a way to read/write to a SQL Server database using javascript or jquery? The UI I am developing will be for adding clinical trial data to the database. Only the DB admins will have access to this UI so security should not be a "huge" problem.
You need a middle tier like php, rails, java... to do the database write. You can't do this from the browser with javascript. But there is Node.js, which allows you do write javascript on the server.
In short, no. Even if there was, you should never leave data validation to the client. Just because your DB Admins are trustworthy, doesn't mean those who break into your network will be. DROP TABLE ClinicalTrialData; would be a bad thing. Use PHP/backend of choice to do the donkeywork and use AJA[X|J] if you want a slick UI experience.
Only server side Javascript methods such as using NodeJS as your server. Never put your database credentials on the front end unless you want people to directly access your database.

I am newbie to web designing. Here I am trying to develop a web page where it prompts for username and password and when I click on button, this html has to make connection with these username and password values entered by user to Marklogic database . Could anyone please help how to do this? Is it through Javascript or PHP? If so please advise where can I find step by step explanation of this process ? Also it is okay if I get procedure for any NOSQL database.
OK. Your statement is a bit big and broad.. I decided to extract the most relevant concepts:
Sample Application including authentication
MarkLogic
Javascript or PHP
Therefore, I suggest looking at a reference framework using all javascript:
http://www.marklogic.com/what-is-marklogic/whats-new/samplestack/
This can have a node.js middle tier in node.js and does not require java.
It is a big step forward and (sort of) complex, but it is a complete example.
If it is too much for what you are looking for, then I suggest you research more specifically what you need in these two specific items in MarkLogic documents:
HTTP Server (where you can run your HTML/CSS/Javascript from)
REST API (for which you can use against your js code)
This is a 2-tier approach where your application(HTTP) server is serving both your HTTP site as well s the default REST enpoints.

I am creating a PHP application, where I want one user make a database entry. It should be reflected to all the users whoever have this app open on their browser will get instant notification that some data has been updated on the database or with whatever data has been inserted.
Is there any way I can get real time notification of data inserted or updated? On all the opened browser without any delay.
We use AJAX for now. But it seems like our application is now working slow due to continues request. Any other way? Which is free.
Thank you!
Take a look at Pusher (https://pusher.com/). It does what you want to achieve and it works like a charm.
I don't know what do you use on your server side but even if it isn't Laravel, take a look at Jeffrey's Laracast about implementing real time notifications in Laravel (PHP). https://laracasts.com/lessons/pusher-awesomeness
Have a fun! When I did it, my app became extremely sexy. Real time notifications, DOM manipulations etc.
You can use web sockets. One existing library example for PHP is Ratchet.

I have to build a website which involve e-commerce stuff like it should allow the users to login and then view the available items. Once the user selects the items and makes payment, it may need additional information in the form of some images/videos to complete the order. So, after payment step, it prompts the user to upload the file and when the file is uploaded on the server, request is complete and the user is kept informed about the status.
All the core functionality is already implemented using REST-ful webservices. I am not able to decide if I should implement the website using HTML+JS (using AJAX to call webservices) or should still use JSP and call webservices using java at server side? Someone suggested me that using JSP is better since it will execute on server side and hence will be secured and faster. But, I somehow feel that HTML+JS is easier to go. Is there some specific advantage to use a server side script like JSP for this purpose? Any ideas are most welcome.
Yes server side scripting will be fruitful for this purpose for security constraints. Or you can use angular js though they are easy to learn and they are secure and can make fast XHR request response. :)

Is there secure way to create secure users accounts within just Html5,JavaScript or jquery without having to using mysql server?i'm trying to setup restriction so only the people who are registered will have access the others will have to option to sign up where i could add the users manually without having them to register any help will be appreciated thank you.
The only place that client side technologies can store data is in the browser. That means:
Data won't be shared between users of different browsers
Anyone with access to the browser can edit the data
You need to use a server side technology. There are plenty of options which use JavaScript, of which Node.js is currently popular, for the language, and plenty of databases that aren't MySQL so you can achieve what you ask for (although probably not what you want).

I want variables from my Javascript functions to be recorded in a database on my server and then posted back onto the html page. I know this may be easy with the POST and GET method, but I've been reading and I'm stumped. So if anyone could lead me to a sample that shows how to do this or show me here in an example of one that would help.
You need to use some form of server-side scripting language (such as PHP) to capture the data sent from JavaScript (presumably via means of AJAX's XMLHttpRequest object) and insert it in the database.
i.e.: There's no means of directly communicating with MySQL from JavaScript itself - you need to use a server-side scripting language to do this.
You might wanna read into Ajax which uses the XMLHttpRequest object to do exactly that.
Using this you can send data to and from a server side script. So that way you could "insert variables into database."
