I am currently using web SQL database in my chrome and safari browsers. This runs pretty well for my requirement. The code is up and running and makes use HTML concepts. I have done some R&D and seen that this technology is deprecated and no longer supported. Most of them are suggesting to use Indexed DB. I dont think this is a feasible option for me as there is a lot of code involved.

I still see Web sql DB in the latest browsers and my app is running smoothly.

My Question and worry here is, are they going to completely remove WEB SQL from Chrome and safari browsers?

If that happens I will be totally Doomed.

If you are targeting for mobile browsers you can go with Web Sql , or else you can go with index db. check out the link Offline access - SQLite or Indexed DB?
