Do you want to take a look at my RelationalDB library - it could form the
basis of a replacement for WebSQL, and as it is based on relational algebra
not SQL, it has not user visible dependencies on the particular SQL
implementation?

Have a look at:
https://github.com/keean/RelationalDB/blob/master/examples/candy.html

For a usage example. This should run in chrome right now (using WebSQL as a
backend).

I would appreciate any thoughts, comments etc.

Keean.
