How to use simple database?

Is there a way I can use javascript to query from a simple text-based tab-delimited database using SQL, but without any special support like MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, etc.?

I basically just want to be able to query some info so I can dynamically insert text into my webpages. I just need to read from the database, not write to it at all.

I want to have this capability, but I'm on my school's servers, which don't give me any CGI support or anything like that.

I've read one site that says I can do it by writing a SQL applet, but it involved JDBC drivers, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to use those since the school's servers dont' give me much to work with. Any help, suggestions?
Thanks!
 
you might have better luck using XML. Javascript can be used with external XML files.
