ISSUE-36 (client-side-storage-sql): Client side database storage SQL statement support [HTML 5 spec] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/ Raised by: Shawn Medero On product: HTML 5 spec Should the client-side database storage section of the specification clearly outline what SQL statements _must_ be supported by implementors? If so what are the MUSTs vs. SHOULDs? Raised by Mikko Honkala via email: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Feb/0288.html > The current spec only notes: "Note: A future version of this > specification will probably define the exact SQL subset required in more > detail". > http://tinyurl.com/23d324 > This is not a good position, especially since implementations are > starting to pop up. On a high level, we need requirements and further > proposals for the subset that is going to get specified as a MUST level > requirement in the spec. ## Proposals Mikko Honkala suggested: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Feb/0288.html > My kick-off proposal would be to start with the number 3 : "The SQL > subset supported by SQLite", combined with their support for full - text > search: > http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_database.html#sqlite_fts > http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=FtsTwo > > And making BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK no-ops, since transactions are > built-in to the API.
