I am new to chrome app development and had a question on databases.

I want to build a reference app for a tabletop rpg that I play. My goal is to create a flat database table that holds all of the information (Thousands of rows) that I can make queries to from the app. (An instant search bar that parses the database)

What is the best DB to use for something like this?

I keep seeing IndexedDB referenced, but that doesn't seem to apply to what I want to do.

Preferably, I would like this information to be available to the user offline.

Any tips??

It's not clear why IndexedDB is not what you want. Anyway, Chrome has WebSQL (despite being deprecated by W3C it has its advantages over IDB so it stays in Chrome). – wOxxOm Jan 20 '17 at 00:40
@wOxxOm do you think i could use IndexedDB for this project? – Jon Paul Hart Jan 20 '17 at 02:51
Like I said, why not? :-) There are several wrapper libraries too. – wOxxOm Jan 20 '17 at 12:02
