The SQL situation is a bummer. It made sense to avoid a monoculture, but indexedDB is a near-useless wreck due to its terrible performance and it has no meaningful querying primitives at all so you get to implement them yourselves and the performance is even worse.
Wish we could've just had two SQL implementations. There are other ones out there - Microsoft ships JET and an embeddable version of MSSQL, someone could've embedded postgres or something. As-is people who care about performance are just going to compile SQLite down to wasm/asm.js and run it in a worker.
