I want to know which one is a better selection for database management: HTML5\'s SQLite or Native database of

Answer 1

i have tested with a POC that Native DB of Android/iOS is too much faster then WebSQL (of HTML5), in case of a PhoneGap App we should use a plugin for Native database. in my test; i have run 999 insert query in a PhoneGap App with Plugin for native environment and the results are:

in Android queries are 558% faster in Emulator, 275% faster in htc droid hd and amazingly 2327% faster for htc wildfire.

in iOS the results are just hilarious queries are 2k+ percentage faster in Simulator/iPhone 4 and 5600% faster in iPhone 3GS.
