CRUD Operations Using WebSQL In HTML5 And jQuery

Introduction

"Web SQL" feature is new in HTML5. Web SQL is an API, which helps the developers to do some database operations on the client-side, like creating a database, opening the transaction, creating the tables, inserting values to the tables, deleting the values and reading the data. If you need any other way to save some data on the client-side, you can use the storage mechanisms, introduced in HTML5.

Browser Support

A Web SQL database will work in the latest version of Safari, Chrome, and Opera.

Differents types of Methods are,

openDatabase

Creates the database object, either using an existing database or creating a new one.
transaction

Controls a transaction and performs either a commit or rollback on the basis of the situation.
executeSql

Executes an SQL query.

Create/Open Web SQL Database

To create a Web SQL database, we can use a function called an open database, which has four parameters as follows:

Database name
Version Number
Description
Size
Creation callback.

The last argument (Creation callback) will be called if the database is being created.

var Database_Name = 'MyDatabase';
var Version = 1.0;
var Text_Description = 'My First Web-SQL Example';
var Database_Size = 2 * 1024 * 1024;
var dbObj = openDatabase(Database_Name, Version, Text_Description, Database_Size);

Creating transaction

To create a transaction we can use the following syntax. We can use the transaction method from our database instance.

dbObj.transaction(function (tx)
{
// do SQL here using the tx object
});

Execute Sql

The executeSql method is used for both reads and write statements. To execute a SQL query, we can use the following syntax:

Table creation
1. dbObj.transaction(function (tx)
2. {
3. tx.executeSql('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Employee_Table (id unique, Name, Location,did)');
4. tx.executeSql('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS dept_Table (did unique, dName,estd)');
5. });
Note, if the database already exists, the transaction will fail. Thus, any successive SQL will not run. Thus, we can either use another transaction or we can only create the table if it doesn't exist.
Insert

Now, let's see, how to perform an insert operation.
1. var id = document.getElementById("tbID").value;
2. var name = document.getElementById("tbName").value;
3. var location = document.getElementById("tbLocation").value;
4. var did = document.getElementById("tbLdept").value;
5. dbObj.transaction(function (tx) {
6. tx.executeSql('insert into Employee_Table(id, Name, Location,did) values(' + id + ',"' + name + '","' + location + '",' + did + ')');
7. });
After insert
Select

Now, let's see, how to retrieve the inserted record.
1. dbObj.transaction(function (tx) {
2. tx.executeSql('SELECT e.id,e.Name,e.Location,d.dName,d.did FROM Employee_Table e inner join dept_Table d on e.did=d.did ', [], function (tx, results) {
3. var len = results.rows.length, i;
4. // document.getElementById("tblGrid").innerHTML = '';
5. $("#tblGrid").find("tr:gt(0)").remove();
6. var str = '';
7. for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
8. str += "<tr>";
9. str += "<td>" + results.rows.item(i).id + "</td>";
10. str += "<td>" + results.rows.item(i).Name + "</td>";
11. str += "<td>" + results.rows.item(i).Location + "</td>";
12. str += "<td>" + results.rows.item(i).dName + "</td>";
13. str += "</tr>";
14. document.getElementById("tblGrid").innerHTML += str;
15. str = '';
16. }
Update
1. var id = document.getElementById("ddlid").value;
2. var name = document.getElementById("tbName").value;
3. var location = document.getElementById("tbLocation").value;
4. var did = document.getElementById("tbLdept").value;
6. dbObj.transaction(function (tx) {
7. tx.executeSql('update Employee_Table set Name="' + name + '",Location="' + location + '",did=' + did + ' where id=' + id + '');
8. });
Now, let's see, how to perform an update operation.
Delete

Now, let's see, how to perform delete operation.
1. var id = document.getElementById("ddlid").value;
2. // alert(id);
3. dbObj.transaction(function (tx) {
4. tx.executeSql('delete from Employee_Table where id=' + id + '');
5. });
