IndexedDB vs Web SQL Database
Developers should learn IndexedDB when building progressive web apps (PWAs) or offline-first applications that require robust client-side data storage, such as note-taking apps, email clients, or media players meets developers should learn web sql primarily for maintaining legacy web applications that still use it, as it was widely implemented in browsers like chrome and safari before being deprecated. Here's our take.

Web SQL Database
Developers should learn Web SQL primarily for maintaining legacy web applications that still use it, as it was widely implemented in browsers like Chrome and Safari before being deprecated
Pros
- +It's useful for understanding client-side data storage evolution and for projects requiring simple, SQL-based local storage in older environments, though modern alternatives are recommended for new development
- +Related to: indexeddb, localstorage
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use IndexedDB if: You want it is essential for scenarios where applications need to handle large datasets (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Web SQL Database if: You prioritize it's useful for understanding client-side data storage evolution and for projects requiring simple, sql-based local storage in older environments, though modern alternatives are recommended for new development over what IndexedDB offers.
