Now I really hope that Spartan can implement WebSQL as well...

Sounds unlikely given that the standard was superseded by IndexedDB.

Most browsers just use SQLite to back IndexedDB, though.

Which is kind of sad... I get the objections to "WebSQL" as it kind of lacked a standard to the support/syntax. But given that it was SQLite (v3 iirc) everywhere, it should have just specified SQLite v3's interface, and MS could have fallen into line with Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

IndexedDB is a better fit for no-sql style use in the browser, but sometimes you really need something closer to SQL.

That would have meant everyone would've been stuck with SQLite3's quirks forever. It may be good but it's not that good!
