So some one can surprise me and say yes on my question?

Can JavaScript access files on the server?

I know its not possible, but i said NO on the SQL database question, but i found someone answering yes !!

Note: this question was before NodeJS release or at least before I know that there is something called NodeJS.

The question you refer do doesn't use JavaScript to access the SQL database.

It uses JavaScript to access an ActiveX Control (which requires Internet Explorer + Widows + Heightened Security Privileges).

You can access the file system in the same way - given a suitable ActiveX control.
