I buy this thinking too as a better strategy for integrating web apps. But still, the ability to download a fully formed SQL database, and then run SQL against it would be nice. openDatabaseFromURL(urlToDatabaseFile); * downloads the database file if needed (per http cache control headers) * the database can reside in an appcache (in which case it would be subject to appcache'ing rules instead) * returns a read-only database object Of course, there is the issue of the SQL database format.
