> The one thing that's missing in the browser right now is an SQL database. I haven't found a way to run SQL in the browser. Actually, there's a way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_SQL_Database (see https://caniuse.com/#search=websql for browser support) You can see a live example with SheetJS here: https://sheetjs.com/sexql/ Unfortunately, Web SQL Database has been deprecated in favour of IndexedDB, which in my opinion is no real replacement because it's a NoSQL database that's nowhere near as powerful in terms of the queries you can run with it. However, the deprecation is understandable from a browser vendor's point of view. Maintaining and developing a browser is difficult enough as it is. Having to maintain an RDBMS adds a lot of complexity on top of that for what's probably a marginal use case for most users. That said, it might be possible to integrate SQLite by using browser extensions. That of course depends on the users' willingness to install a browser extension in order to run your software builder. |
