Sodium chloride is an ionic crystal at room temperature. Water is a very polar solvent that allows the Sodium and Chloride ions to separate and remain in solution.
Any protic polar solvent, including the smaller alcohols (methanol, ethanol and to some degree even propanol) will dissolve Sodium chloride. Aprotic polar solvents tend to react. See the reference below:
If you really want to bend the rules a bit, heating almost any ionic crystal hot enough to liquefy if would most likely be capable of dissolving Sodium chloride crystals.

solvent is not necessary for this.if u add excess NaCl, u may heat the solution to make it dissolve.

Any polar solvent will do the job.

basically solvents that is polar enough can do that. I have tried with ethanol and it worked

Probably ethanol.
