How do I connect Google Earth with any relation database? I have live database containing spatial co-ordinates i.e latitude and longitude. User should be able to view these live data on google earth.

What exactly do you want to do? Is it retrieving your data from database and then viewing on Google Earth or something else? – thelastray Apr 17 '12 at 5:54
@thelastray yes only viewing. I have edited the question. – Kitex Apr 17 '12 at 6:00

If you want to serve the data as static KML, the easiest option is to use ST_AsKML function in PostGIS. However if you want to use live KML data, one option could be using GeoServer and get the output in KML format.

I added Network Link but could not see any points should I use SLD? I already have SLD for wms layer – Kitex Apr 17 '12 at 7:03
Try to add your layer in Openlayers as WFS and check whether it is working. There may be problem in your GEOSERVER_URL. For styling check KML Styling – thelastray Apr 17 '12 at 8:28
Geoserver for the Open Source - or if have a good budget FME Server with Network KML/Z streaming service is excellent. – Mapperz♦ Apr 17 '12 at 13:57
