-------------------------

             Summary: Android Quirks should be documented for WebSQL
                 Key: CB-4760
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4760
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android, Docs
    Affects Versions: 2.9.0
            Reporter: Peter
            Assignee: Joe Bowser


Apparently the WebSQL implementation is known broken on some Android devices.
See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4742?focusedCommentId=13759164&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13759164

But the Cordova provided implementation also has some behaviours which cause mobile-spec storage.spec.18 to fail
See CB-4742, CB-3047

Furthermore, the advice from Cordova dev is to just avoid using the WebSQL API
See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3047?focusedCommentId=13633073&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13633073

The problem is that the Storage Guide documentation (http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/cordova_storage_storage.md.html#Storage) currently doesn't mention any *Android Quirks* at all, so as far as user knows it should all work OK as per the API guide.

Since (from above) there are known problems with the WebSQL API, and Cordova devs recommend to avoid using the WebSQL API, and the Cordova impl of WebSQL sometimes has unexpected behaviour, then all these should be documented as Android Quirks so the user is more aware of potential issues they will face.
