Much in the same way as cookies aren't shared between different domains, local databases aren't either. So the usual restrictions apply. So the only way to access a database from a different domain would be indirectly via a common server or else via some mechanism like JSONP (to allow cross-domain ajax calls). The limitations in terms of how many databases you can create per domain depends on the browser. Safari has settings to control the allowed total size (at least before permission is asked for more). So I presume it's not the number of databases that is limited, but their total size instead. @wanna – it’s a security thing.

I have a question. I am trying to create SQLite database with JavaScript with different domain for the purpose of merging them later. In your post, you mention that "openDatabase" can be used to create/select database from "the current domain". Is there away to access database from different domain? What is the limitation in term of how many databases I can create per domain or per page? Thank you. Your response is highly appreciated. Thank you for your post.
