Javascript is simply designed for lightweight scripting against a
pre-existing object set provided by the host program.  The quick answer
is that you will need to look for documentation in the program you are
using.  I think that Mozilla used to have an optional add-in for
PostgreSQL support, but it doesn't look like it has been maintained in a
while.
