Mobile Safari is randomly throwing this error on 10.0.2

This isn't random: As suggested in the stack overflow thread, this is almost certainly due to size usage.

Hey Brady,

I'm familiar with the issues around size parameters with WebSQL
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163578

However, I'm seeing this error occurring using a standard size of 5000000, it's never been an issue until 10.0.2

If it is related to size usage, it's a very confusing error message

I'm not talking about the expected size parameter - I'm taking about actual usage.

Definitely not defending the error message!

Could you elaborate on what do you mean by usage, an INSERT? I'm only seeing the crash being thrown on openDatabase?

We have removed WebSQL as a feature. We won't make further improvements to it.
