Embedded DB

Are there any plans on supporting an embedded DB on the mobile device as to allow for running "offline" and then synchronize DB when connected?

Yes, we are planning to support this in the future in an easy drag-n-drop way.  Today you can use SQLite or Indexed DB support in HTML5 to enable this.

A great resource regarding this subject is at: diveintohtml5.info/storage.html

I am not sure html5 local storage will do the trick. We use it today for app settings but I am looking for an actual DB that can store thousands of records. I will look at SQLite.

Any idea on what "in the future" means? This year...next year...5 years?

It's more likely within the next year or so - this is an important feature for us to support.  I'm sorry I can't nail it down to a specific date at this time, but it is on the roadmap for near future release.

It is a very important feature. This was discussed at PUG Challenge two years ago this June.

Thanks for the update.
