That's correct. We're using leveldb as the back-end for IndexedDB in Chrome.


Please enlighten me, in the LevelDB page it said:

> Only a single process (possibly multi-threaded) can access a particular database at a time.

But I presume Chrome is multiprocess by nature?


All leveldb access is done in the main process (which also handles UI, network, most file access, etc).


I am guessing each chrome "tab" (read: process) has it's own db open, that is just a guess though.
