+  <h4 id=a-worker><span class=secno>1.1.2 </span>A worker for updating a
+   client-side database</h4>
+
+  <p><em>This section is non-normative.</em>
+
+  <p>In this example, the main document spawns a worker whose only task is to
+   listen for notifications from the server, and, when appropriate, either
+   add or remove data from the client-side database.
+
+  <p>Since no communication occurs between the worker and the main page, the
+   main page can start the worker by just doing:
+
+  <pre>&lt;script>
+ createWorker('worker.js');
+&lt;/script></pre>
+
+  <p>The worker itself is as follows:
+
+  <pre>var server = new WebSocket('ws://whatwg.org/database');
+var database = utils.openDatabase('demobase', '1.0', 'Demo Database', 10240);
+server.onmessage = function (event) {
+  // data is in the format "command key value"
+  var data = event.message.split(' ');
+  switch (data[0]) {
+    case '+':
+     database.transaction(function(tx) {
+       tx.executeSql('INSERT INTO pairs (key, value) VALUES (?, ?)', data[1], data[2]);
+     });
+    case '-':
+     database.transaction(function(tx) {
+       tx.executeSql('DELETE FROM pairs WHERE key=? AND value=?', data[1], data[2]);
+     });
+  }
+};</pre>
+
+  <p>This connects to the server using the <code>WebSocket</code> mechanism
+   and opens the local database (which, we presume, has been created
+   earlier). The worker then just listens for messages from the worker and
+   acts on them as appropriate, forever (or until the main page is closed).

+   the server does not actually exist and the database is not created by this
+   sample code.)
