Can JavaScript connect with MySQL?
I have a database with names and emails. When the user fills a email input field with a email. JS checks it with the database and writes out persons name after he completed the email in the field.

Is it Possible to retrieve MySQL Database data using JavaScript?
Any help would be appreciated.
Assuming a typical browser environment (since you specify client side code), no, and it would be insane to expose the database in a way that would grant a browser such permissions if it were possible.
Write a web service that the browser can interact with by using Forms or Ajax to make HTTP requests instead.
(Aside: If you hadn’t specified client side, then node js can do it).
