What database does PhoneGap use and what is the size limit?

Question

I wrote an HTML5 database that abstracts localStorage, indexedDB, and WebSQL. Using straight HTML5 my database options look like this:

• IE10 -

Answer 1

IndexedDB -

• It is incompatible with many types of mobile OS and versions
• It is only compatible with very specific versions of mobile OS
• Developers cannot use SQL with IndexedDB. SQL statements can be used on SQLite and WebSQL
• Most developers actively avoid using IndexedDB as much as they can

WebSQL -

• It has been deprecated by W3C which means it is no longer maintained or developed
• It requires another plugin called Polyfill to enable mobile applications to work with popular mobile OS such as Google Android and Apple iOS

SQLite -

• It received an award from Google
• SQLite has its official website. IndexedDB and WebSQL do not
• On Google, SQLite returns 1.8 million results. WebSQL returns a bit less than 700K results and IndexedDB returns 282K results.
• Developer can use common SQL statements with SQLite.
