In more detail

I need to access a database through sql-query and get longitude and latitude of a certain location. That (lon, lat) info will go to the search widget via java script.

Bulbul,

Unless the database table/featurelayer is coming from ArcGIS Server then your only option is to develop a web service that will have access to the data. JavaScript is a client side language and does not provide access to query databases on its own.
