Good morning,

We know that the team has been considering the idea of removing support for 
WebSQL from blink for quite a while. However, it seems that apparently 
there is a decision to do it in 2023, according to this document:

https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7679408#deprWsql108

I wanted to ask several questions about this topic:
1.- Is this fully confirmed? Will WebSQL support be fully dropped from the 
browser in 2023?
2.- In that case, can you share with us a more specific timeline for this? 
Will it most probably be first half, or more likely second half of the 
year? In any case, will you provide at least a 6 months warning or similar 
once the final date/Chrome version has been decided?
3.- Finally, regarding the replacement that this document mentions, based 
on the SQLite implementation in WebAssembly, is it possible to find out 
more details about this? Will it provide WebSQL API-level compatibility? Or 
will you delegate on some external library to provide this API bridge? Is 
it possible to test it already, or will it be possible to do so in the near 
future?

Thanks a lot for your answers on this topic. We have a couple of 
applications that have been migrated to IndexedDB, but many of our 
customers are still using older versions that use WebSQL, and unfortunately 
this change will impact them, so if you can provide more light both on the 
dates expected for these changes, and the SQLite implementation, we would 
really appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Asier
