Right. To put it in other words, the Google Visualization API is a javascript library that runs in the browser. As such, all it can do is issue HTTP requests. If your database has some HTTP interface, then you can write javascript code that queries it. Since there's no standard database HTTP interface which many databases support (or at least not one I'm aware of), the library can't provide methods for such HTTP queries.
Bottom line, you'll have to run some server-side code to query the database. It can be done in any way you like it (such as PHP scripting), and that is the first link I mentioned, or in a server-side Java library we wrote and provided, and that's the second link.
