Web and WebWorks Development

[kundan4776]

If we want to use sql lite db in webworks,

does it requires SD card compulsorily to use DB feature.

Is there any work around if user doesn't have SD card.

We looked at a similar issue for using Google Gears in BB OS 5.0 - which does require the SD card. The webworks HTML5 Database also requires an SD card and I suspect but cannot confirm that it is running google gears under the hood . . . 

However, it seems that all Blackberry's are sold with SD cards or come with an embedded SD card - at least that seems to be the case here in South Africa. So basically its probably not worth implementing a work around - at least thats what we decided in our case.

Hello kundan4776,

As mentioned by Ryanthegiantlion, SQL Lite does require an SD Card - for more information, please refer to the following page:

https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/documentation/database_1201928.html

[Ryanthegiantlion]

How does that compare to https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/apis/database.html

Both docs list the same methods yet one shows support for OS 5.0 upwards and the other for OS 6.0 upwards . . .

Hi Ryanthegiantlion,

Same APIs, the only difference is that in 5.0 this was done using Google Gears while in 6.0+ its using the HTML5 Web Standard, and therefore belongs in the Web Starndards section.
