Eric, Thanks.
One more question if you don't mind. Is the async version of SQL Database API and worker thread support available in a version of webkit that is generally available on Android-based smartphones? -----Original Message----- From: Eric Uhrhane [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 2 July 2010 9:53 a.m. To: Evan Ireland Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [webkit-dev] Web SQL Database API - openDatabaseSync On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 2:07 PM, Evan Ireland <[email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone have an implementation of the synchronous SQL Database API > (openDatabaseSync...)?

No, by design, that API is only accessable from worker context. In the document context you have to use the asynchronous API [which is currently available on worker threads in webkit and chromium]. > If not, does anyone have an ETA on availability of the synchronous API > usable from the main UI thread. It's not likely that anyone will implement this, as it's a) not in the spec; b) guaranteed to cause awkward lockups of the whole UI.
