I am looking for an evolved, stable and proven database solution for PhoneGap applications, which is not limited in size.

I have been working with LocalStorage for over a year, and it works quite well. At least if you don't hit the 5 MB limit.

And that's my concern: the app I am currently planning will have to handle much more data, and I don't want to say "Sorry, we reached the 5 MB limit and cannot complete your action!" to a user, who just bought an 64 GB iPhone.

Are there any recommendations?

Thanks!

Thomas
