Hello Paolo,

Thanks for sharing that information with us. Certainly, client side databases are something not very well supported, and, for example, can have some limitations in terms of the available storage space. Can be a good thing, of course, and, apparently the project is used by some relevant projects.

However, my point is that maybe not all the times we need something like a relational database in the client side. For example, we can use the app's local storage to store information in an JSON way, which can be set and get when needed.

We can also use the app's storage to store other kind of information in addition to certain JSON, for example, something ready to be used by the ParseVariables action. If our target allows to use Cordova, we can write files too in order to store information in the client side.

And, finally, we can use an app's server... and therefore a server's database (MySQL, Oracle or whatever else) in order to store our app's information in the server side: this means we don't have the possible limitations in the client side, of course.

Anyway thanks again for share the project with us, Paolo: again, I only want to remark that maybe not all the projects requires something like that, but, of course, may can be useful in certain specific projects, or just a good tool to take in consideration.
