Research direction

Start by examining the existing export() path and the SQL.Database constructor described in the issue. Determine whether persistence to IndexedDB can avoid export while remaining loadable by SQL.Database; done should be a documented or implemented persistence approach with its performance trade-offs clarified.

Description

enhancement

I am currently having to call export every time I need to save to indexedDB for persistence. The problem is export greatly increases the save time taken and I cannot save just the SQLJS object due to the new SQL.database constructor not being able to handle that? Is there any way around this or could this be a possible enhancement.
