Just a method you can follow to go ahead-

Firstly load the latlng values from the database and store them in an array.

Then pass this array of latlng’s to a javascript function that will display this latlng values on the map. The function will essentially contain a loop that will display each of these latlng’s one by one on the map along with a marker.

You should first try working with an array of latlng’s hardcoded in an array of javascript. Then it would be easy dealing with values retrieved from a database.
