-------------------------------------
@Emile This is about persistence (try to read the original description again).
The location of the databases are in Library/Caches which is not guaranteed to
be be there in the case of an app upgrade, or iOS system cleanup (as per Apple
rules). Previously it was guaranteed since it was in Library/WebKit.
> localStorage / SQLDatabase no longer persistent after iOS 5.01 Update

> Dear Dev
> WebKit data (localstorage or local SQLite) are now stored in Library/ Caches
> folder (instead of Library/WebKit folder). This is a big problem for all apps
> using UIWebView and storing user data, because they will no longer be backed
> up and may be deleted. There are a lot of apps using localstorage or SQLite
> as a critical feature.
> The SQLite database gets deleted because the database is saved in a location
> on the filesystem which Apple does not consider to contain persistent data.
> *Steps to Reproduce:*
> In a UIWebView, create a new DB or use localStorage with JavaScript.
> You can see that the WebKit data is now stored in Library/Caches :
> *Expected Results:*
> We should at least specify the directory of WebKit data (and to set it
> to Documents/ for critical data)
> *Actual Results:*
> The WebKit data are stored in Library/Caches folder, and can be
> deleted
> *Regression:*
> To migrate database location from Library/Caches to some other location such
> as Documents.
