JSON is not intended to be "displayed", it's meant to be loaded by
Javascript, typically with a javascript library such as jQuery, Ext
or Prototype. The example on this page (happens to be .NET) shows how
to make a POST request to the web server URL, retrieve the JSON
encoded data, and display it in a DIV in a web page :

"Finally, the jQuery code to call the web service and appropriately
handle its result" :

Obviously, you'll now read the JSON, jQuery and HTML documentation to
arrange that to your requirements
Such as http://visualjquery.com/1.1.2.html and
http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page as well as the download site
http://jquery.com/ : Be sure to pop back when you've read all about
those with your DB specific questions ;-)
