Patrick Mueller commented on CB-103:
------------------------------------
meta-comment here: I think the jury is out on Web SQL vs IndexedDB. I don't
think any of the browsers (desktop) have fully implemented IndexedDB yet, so we
don't really know how successful it's going to be. We do know that:
- WebSQL is available on WebKit-based browsers
- probably not going away on those browsers any time soon
- it's not implemented on many other browsers
- people are using it
If I peer into the looking glass, not clear to me that continuing to have a
WebSQL for Cordova in a few years would be such a bad thing. I think we should
entertain the possibility that WebSQL is something we would want to provide on
all Cordova platforms.
I will also mention a thread popped up on the webkit-dev m/l this weekend re:
"should WebKit require WebSQL". Two responses so far, both "yes". Presumably
this might be just for implementation detail for WebKit itself (managing
caches, etc), but ... it tells you something.

> Under Adobe AIR, you can open a connection to a SQLite db and point to an
> existing file. The benefit of this is that your application can ship a
> database seeded with data. Without this support, your application has to
> initialize the db via scripting. While not difficult, it does increase the
> application's first run time and also complicates the code unnecessarily. I
> understand that this isn't per the Web SQL spec,
> http://dev.w3.org/html5/webdatabase, but it could certainly be useful.
