Detail about the db module

[Darcbar]

In the tiger.db module the example shows:

storage = LocalStorage('DatabaseName')
storage.createTable('Phonebook','Name','Number')

... does this query an sqlite database, or html5 localStorage?

Also, if the above is interacting with the Titanium Database (sqlite) module , does the tiger.db module open and then 'close' the database connection on every query?

BTW fantastic to be able to use Spine with Titanium, I much prefer Spine over Backbone, and also Tiger over Alloy... Great stuff!
