I'm currently working on an application which involves accessing IndexedDB in Google Chrome from web workers. However i recently read on the chrome web platform status page and w3c IndexedDB draft that:

The Sync API is not supported - but neither IE nor Firefox support this either; it is marked as "At Risk" in the spec

I wondering, if this means that web workers won't be able to access indexed db in the future or they'll use the Async API to access it?

Workers can use the Async API (same as normal Window contexts) - Chrome, IE and Firefox all support this.

I've tried to use IDB async API and it is really hard to write clean code. Of course the jQuery wrapper lib helps a lot however it is still torture to use IDB. No wonder people still prefer write code on the server side.

Are there any chances that IDB sync API within web workers will be implemented in near future?

It is not a priority for us at least through chrome 26. We haven't planned further than that.
