HTML 5 web SQL chrome support , Should I use webSQL?


Here I have to make a server based application which will run on an closed network and specific to chrome. I have to decided now whether I should use WebSQL (Which will definitely saves us development time) or should we use IndexedDB (of which we do not have much knowledge).

How can I find out that chrome will continue to support WebSQL in feature versions? Or I have to restrict my client limited to supporting version, which is not good for a long term business relationship.

Please Also tell me any nice tutorial or guide for learning Indexed DB ...

And I couldn't understood the the reason w3c stopped supporting webSQL. Do anyone know??


Solution

  • WebSql is no longer a maintained standard by W3C since 18 November 2010

    This document was on the W3C Recommendation track but specification work has stopped. The specification reached an impasse: all interested implementors have used the same SQL backend (Sqlite), but we need multiple independent implementations to proceed along a standardisation path.

    Here is a link to github project which i maintain and has examples of the basic functions of IndexedDB such as: creating db, inserting, retrieving, updating and deleting data. I've just updated it to work in the latest version of Chrome and Firefox
