AlaSQL.js – JavaScript SQL Database for Browser and Node.js

This is very cool. But Github tells me that the minified version is still over 400KB.<p>I really wish browsers hasn&#x27;t decided against WebSQL and replaced it with IndexedDB.

I am researching for a project idea I have and was actually looking up in memory SQL databases for node last night to store and sort data instead of creating a object and custom functions to filter it.<p>I came across <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nanosql.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nanosql.io&#x2F;</a> also which I am leaning more towards. Not to the point yet to play with either yet but it seemed like nanosql had better documentation and also less issues opened on Github right now.<p>Kinda odd how when you look up things or think of things you see signs of them... Just wow&#x27;ed to see something I was looking at last night be #4 on the HN homepage... I know people talk about positivity and the law of attraction but starting to believe more and more in it where thoughts and focus becomes reality.

Interesting that Mike Bostock posted this today: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beta.observablehq.com&#x2F;@mbostock&#x2F;sqlite" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beta.observablehq.com&#x2F;@mbostock&#x2F;sqlite</a><p>I&#x27;m not sure how the two compare...

Persistence seems to be via files... So I suppose just as for Lovefield, all the data needs needs to be loaded before use? This also seems to make sharing between tabs tricky?

Does this use web workers to access the db? Otherwise I&#x27;d worry about queries blocking the main thread, especially as the database gets larger.

Maybe better for hybrid app dev.
