It is possible than, when i extract an adress from database, for example, the country, city, the street and the number, to appear the map and a point of the exact locaion?

Thanks.

Yep. You first have to talk to Google's geocoding servers to get the corresponding latitude and longitude, and then you can render a map with that point as its center, with a marker on it if you want. You should do some research on Google Maps API.

Are you sure that it is possible to find a location and with the number of the street?
Look, for example when i searched for Romania, for Costila street if you look the number 9, or 10, google map it show's you the same street with the same dot...i hope you understand me what i try to say :).
Thanks.

Google map coverage varies between countries. Only in a number of countries (e.g. USA, UK, Germany) you can get an exact location from a house number.
