I find that very unlikely. Web SQL is to be an upgrade from cookies as the client storage mechanism, it is not meant to be store a few TB in GIS data. Implementors will choose based on much more practical concerns such as portability (SQLite is not just available for Android and iOS, it is included), filesystem layout (put the databases in one folder for each domain just like Flash lays out its offline storage), embeddability (5 processes just to start a DB), recovery speed (when a mobile browser gets pushed from RAM and later fear back in, it has to replay a 16 MB WAL file) and even just convenience (how many browsers already use SQLite for bookmark storage?) will weight far heavier then some perceived enterprise readiness, Jochem -- Jochem van Dieten http://jochem.vandieten.net/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
