Description David Kilzer (:ddkilzer) 2010-03-29 15:19:46 PDT 
* SUMMARY
It would be useful to have universal unique identifier (UUID) for each HTML5 database created in WebKit.  This would allow you to identify situations where a database with the exact same name and schema has been deleted and recreated.  It would also allow you to uniquely identify a database without having to pass around a set of information like security origin, name, etc.

Note that this will most likely be an internal identifier and not be exposed through JavaScript.  (Exposing it to web pages would be a separate issue if that's desirable.)
