Should I use WebSQL?

WebSQL is still deprecated and in fact being removed from iOS Safari. Web Workers are not necessarily a panacea. I'd recommend using IndexedDB for large data, and LocalStorage for small amounts of data that you need synchronous access to.

Open settings from the Home Screen. Select Safari - Advanced -> Experimental Features. Change the toggle for "Disable Web SQL" on the right at the bottom, it should be in the "off" position (grey with the white circle on the left)
