A polyfill to enable IndexedDB using WebSQL.
IndexedDB 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.
Check out my blog for updates.

To keep the code manageable, the modules are in different files. The link above is simply a concatenation of all these files.
Test Cases
Run the test cases (Mocha, Fake, Mock, and W3C (older).) to see how the polyfill performs on your non-IndexedDB supported browser like Opera or Safari. It also works on Chrome as Chrome also has WebSQL. This would run on devices like the iPad and the iPhone too !!
One may also run up-to-date W3C tests against our polyfill, but at present one must set up a local environment for this. See the README for details.
Libraries tested to work with the shim
The polyfill implements the IndexedDB API specification. The following libraries have examples that work with the polyfill. Note that the jQuery and LINQ examples may now be outdated.
- JQuery-IndexedDB plugin - See example
- LINQ API for IndexedDB LINQ2IndexedDB
- DB.JS library - See Examples
Source Code
Fork the repository on GitHub. The source code allows you to use either Apache 2.0 or MIT.
The implementation is not 100% to the spec and some work still needs to be done. There are a couple of open issues to be fixed.
