I was wondering if it’s possible to do it, using Javascript on the server, but without using PHP or ASP. Is this a common practice?
I would like to access mysql db, but I prefer not to use PHP or ASP. So using only Javascript server code.

If you mean client-side Javascript running in the browser doing operations that change stuff directly on the server, then the answer is no. You need a layer running on server side that authenticates accesses, stores data, etc. If this were possible using client-side JavaScript, everybody and their dog could alter your web site. How would you like that?
There are server-side JavaScript implementations but I don’t think this is what you are asking for. They require a specific server-side setup.
