The point was made with reference to Mozilla expecting web developers to run
production client code on IndexedDB, when Mozilla themselves run production
code on SQLite.
Boris, Jonas and Shaun, we could talk round and round in circles. It seems
you're not too concerned by any of the performance and design problems re:
indexedDB that I have raised. You ask for "proposals" but it's clear you're not
sold on these issues. If you were, I am sure you would be among the first to
provide them.
Do you have real-world experience developing web-based applications, targeting
mobile and desktop, with offline support for storing, indexing, migrating and
synchronizing several million objects? Or are we all arguing in the realm of
conjecture ("it should be able to") without having encountered any of these
issues ourselves, or having any basis for our claims?
