ASP can do it (but only with IE I think) using a technology called Remote Scripting.

For more information on it you can google it or check out:

That's really the part specific to refreshing data without a page reload. As for diplaying info from a database as a table in ASP it's a fairly basic/common thing that is covered in many articles. http://www.google.com/search?q=displ...base+table+asp

Finally, if you know javascript and asp well you can have a invisible page refreshing regularly in an iframe, which uses javascript and dhtml to update the information on the parent page. I've done it before, and it works well, but it's not trivial to put together.

Also, ASP.NET has the ability to do it using Script Callbacks. For an overview of that go to:
