We maybe[1] should, but we are not. AFAIK there's no relational query engine for IndexedDB.

Also, there are a lot more people who can get things done with SQL than using indexed KV-stores. KV stores tending to have horrible APIs doesn't help the situation.

[1] E.g. SQLite started with a gdbm backend, but later rolled their own because of limitations caused by it.

There is SQL on top of IndexedDB: absurd-sql or AlaSQL.
