As Jeff points out, Storage is supported in GWT today. Storage is the
HTML5 key/value pair datastore and has a 5mb limit (unless you are
installed via the Chrome Web Store).

John LaBanca has a good overview (that is pretty entertaining) here:

We don't currently have an IndexedDb wrapper. IndexedDb (http://
www.w3.org/TR/IndexedDB/) is a successor to the defunct WebSQL and is
a much more powerful datastore than Storage, supporting queries and
such. GWT support for IndexedDb will require some serious work and I
don't know of anyone looking into it at the moment.
