nodejs and database communication - how?

Question

Hello.

I've heard much good about nodejs and writting client-server application with it. But I can't get, for example, when developing IM client-server application, how nodejs server script is supposed to talk to database server to actually store it's data? Or may be I miss something and nodejs server scripts are not supposed to do that? If so, please, push me to correct direction.

I've noticed DBSLayer http://code.nytimes.com/projects/dbslayer/wiki, but it looks like it's still in beta.

You need to grab a module that handles the communication to the database you want. See here for a list of modules for node.js. Popular databases that work well with node.js are MongoDB, CouchDB and Redis.
