WebSQL Deprecation

We are reaching out to you, as we noticed that your app may be using WebSQL API. 

WebSQL API is soon to be removed from Chrome. What you need to do depends on how you're using Web SQL.

• If you're just using Web SQL to detect whether a given browser is Chrome, that method will stop working when Web SQL is removed.
• If you're using Web SQL to simply store a few data points, localStorage and sessionStorage provide easier ways to do this.
• However, if you're using Web SQL for more complex storage, you'll need to find a proper replacement.

Here are some migration options for more complex storage:

• If your storage needs don't require a relational database, IndexedDB is the standard solution for structured storage on the web. Large sites rely on IndexedDB, and all major browsers support it.
• For those who do need a relational database, we are partnering with the SQLite team to create an evergreen cross-browser Web SQL replacement. The team is adding a web backend to SQLite, using Emscripten to compile it to WebAssembly and leveraging the new File System Access Handles API as a low-level virtual file interface. We expect this to be ready for use early in 2023. For more information, see our blog post Deprecating and removing Web SQL.
