IndexedBD is not supported on all browsers. This IndexedDB polyfill exposes the IndexedDB API in unsupported browsers using WebSQL. This shim is basically an IndexedDB-WebSql adapter.

I have been working on it for sometime and I thought folks in this group may be interested. Hoping that this implementation makes adoption of IndexedDB better !!

Nice! How good is WebSQL support across browsers?

Webkit based ones and Opera have it. IE and FF do not and probably
will not in the future too.

Nice Job btw Parshu!

Anyword on when Opera will support IndexedDB, given that WebSql is now deprecated?

We are currently working on it right now. Can't say when exactly it
will be ready, as such things can't be guaranteed. Will take a bit of
time though. :/

FWIW, WebSQL still currently has wide support for smartphone browsers,
with only FF Mobile not supporting it. (Mobile Safari, Native Android
Browser and Opera Mobile support it. In contrast to indexedDB which is
not supported in those browsers currently. - So if a person is
targetting mobile and only mobile browsers, then websql is a better
option than indexedDB *for now*. Things will of course change in the
future.)

Also, WebSQL is not 'deprecated' which I see many people say. Its in
'impasse' which means the spec is no longer maintained. 'Deprecated'
has a different meaning altogether in w3c specs at least, so I would
advise to avoid using that word for WebSQL and use 'in impasse'
instead. :)

Just tested the shim working with some libraries, and thought that this group may be interested in looking at the different libraries for IndexedDB
