No storage limits using PouchDB + Cordova-sqlite-storage?

Question

I've been looking into the Phonegap and PouchDB docs for days but I don't seem to get a clear answer.

Is it correct that when I add the Cordova plugin Cordova-sqlite-storage and use PouchDB using the PouchDB API, I'll have unlimited storage in my iOS webview?

I'm actually confused since I thought PouchDB was based on CouchDB (which seems like NoSQL). SQLite is using SQL queries for data storage.

Thanks!

Yes, you don't have traditional storage limits when using cordova-sqlite-storage. I've worked on an app that's in the App Store and Google Play today that uses >100Mb of data in SQLite. Cordova documentation backs this up .

PouchDB has a SQLite adapter which you might be able to use but I have no direct experience here and the documentation notes you should only use it with SQLite unless you really need >50Mb storage as there can be performance issues.

LokiJS with persistence might also be an option for you.
