Description

Web SQL is on its way out and is being slowly deprecated. Web SQL access in insecure contexts is deprecated as of Chromium 105 at which time a warning message will be shown in the Chrome DevTools Issue panel. It's planned to fully remove it in later versions. This is a heads up to consider removing Web SQL as a storage backend from your library.

Contributor guide

Investigate alternative storage backends (e.g., localStorage, SQLite via WebAssembly) for IndexedDBShim and plan the migration away from WebSQL.
