AngularJS is perfect for displaying data from a Database. Just make sure the data is in JSON format.
Fetching Data From a PHP Server Running MySQL
AngularJS Example
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="customersCtrl">
<table>
<tr
ng-repeat="x in names">
<td>{{ x.Name }}</td>
<td>{{ x.Country
}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('customersCtrl',
function($scope, $http) {
$http.get("http://www.w3ii.com/angular/customers_mysql.php")
.then(function (response) {$scope.names = response.data.records;});
});
</script>

Fetching Data From an ASP.NET Server Running SQL
AngularJS Example
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="customersCtrl">
<table>
<tr
ng-repeat="x in names">
<td>{{ x.Name }}</td>
<td>{{ x.Country
}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('customersCtrl',
function($scope, $http) {
$http.get("http://www.w3ii.com/angular/customers_sql.aspx")
.then(function (response) {$scope.names = response.data.records;});
});

Server Code Examples
The following section is a listing of the server code used to fetch SQL data.
- Using PHP and MySQL. Returning JSON.
- Using PHP and MS Access. Returning JSON.
- Using ASP.NET, VB, and MS Access. Returning JSON.
- Using ASP.NET, Razor, and SQL Lite. Returning JSON.
Cross-Site HTTP Requests
Requests for data from a different server (than the requesting page), are called cross-site HTTP requests.
Cross-site requests are common on the web. Many pages load CSS, images, and scripts from different servers.
In modern browsers, cross-site HTTP requests from scripts are restricted to same site for security reasons.
The following line, in our PHP examples, has been added to allow cross-site access.
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
1. Server Code PHP and MySQL
<?php
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
header("Content-Type:
application/json; charset=UTF-8");
$conn =
new mysqli("myServer", "myUser", "myPassword", "Northwind");
$result = $conn->query("SELECT
CompanyName, City, Country FROM Customers");
$outp = "";
while($rs = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
if ($outp != "") {$outp .= ",";}
$outp .= '{"Name":"' . $rs["CompanyName"] . '",';
$outp .= '"City":"' . $rs["City"] . '",';
$outp .= '"Country":"'. $rs["Country"] . '"}';
}
$outp ='{"records":['.$outp.']}';
$conn->close();
echo($outp);
?>
2. Server Code PHP and MS Access
<?php
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
header("Content-Type:
application/json; charset=ISO-8859-1");
$conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection");
$conn->open("PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Northwind.mdb");
$rs = $conn->execute("SELECT CompanyName, City, Country FROM
Customers");
$outp = "";
while (!$rs->EOF) {
if ($outp != "") {$outp .= ",";}
$outp .= '{"Name":"' . $rs["CompanyName"] . '",';
$outp .= '"City":"' . $rs["City"] . '",';
$outp .= '"Country":"'. $rs["Country"] . '"}';
$rs->MoveNext();
}
$outp ='{"records":['.$outp.']}';
$conn->close();
echo ($outp);
?>
3. Server Code ASP.NET, VB and MS Access

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDb"%>

4. Server Code ASP.NET, Razor C# and SQL Lite
@{
Response.AppendHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
Response.AppendHeader("Content-type", "application/json")
var db =
Database.Open("Northwind");
