Websqldump Save

An ultra-light JS library for exporting data out of WebSQL

Usage

// Export whole db to console
websqldump.export({
  database: 'NorthwindLite'
});

// Export database data and POST to remote server
websqldump.export({
  database: 'NorthwindLite',
  dataonly: true,
  linebreaks: true,
  success: function(sql) {
    $.ajax({type: 'POST', url: 'http://myserver.com/sync', data: {clientId: '4EAB0319', localdb: sql});
  }
});

// Export single table (schema only) to alert window, ignore errors
websqldump.export({
  database: 'NorthwindLite',
  table: 'Orders',
  schemaonly: true,
  linebreaks: true,
  success: function(sql) {
    alert(sql); 
  },
  error: function(msg) {
    // do nothing
  }
});

You will need to create some tables and enter data in order for the demo to become meaningful.
