Question

I’m trying to create a standalone HTML5 document that utilizes SQlite. I want to save the database in the same directory as the html file so that I can access the data on a usb stick from any computer. How do I specify where the database ought to be saved?

This is all I have so far:

var db = window.openDatabase("gtd", "", "GTD 3.0", 1024*1000);

Answer 1

From what I understand, the browser handles how and where the SQLite database is created or read from. Firefox places the SQLite db into a file inside the user’s profile folder.

In Firefox the DOM storage data is stored in the webappsstore.sqlite file in the profile folder (there’s also chromeappsstore.sqlite file used to store browser’s own data, notably for the start page – about:home, but potentially for other internal pages with “about:” URLs).
