I wouldn't recommend it, but we did have a full database implementation
strictly using server side javascript.  It was a time reporting system
and it worked okay.  The server side stuff seemed to be quite a load on
the server though.  We are using to connect to an existing Oracle
database.  Nothing else, html and server side javascript.
