    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-103?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13162863#comment-13162863 ] 

Patrick Mueller commented on CB-103:
------------------------------------

Sounds pretty useful.  My main worry is how portable these sqlite binary files are:

- platform-to-platform
- version-to-version

Even it the files are portable today across a large # of platforms and versions of platforms, could this change in the future?

The alternative would seem to be some kind of database "dump" format, which would obviously be slower to process, but likely more "portable".

> Under Adobe AIR, you can open a connection to a SQLite db and point to an existing file. The benefit of this is that your application can ship a database seeded with data. Without this support, your application has to initialize the db via scripting. While not difficult, it does increase the application's first run time and also complicates the code unnecessarily. I understand that this isn't per the Web SQL spec, http://dev.w3.org/html5/webdatabase, but it could certainly be useful.
