How secure is this database?
Is it accessible by other apps?

Hey @apppro123, the database is saved internally, only accessible by your app. Other apps won't be able to access it.

References:

For Android: Internal storage section at Files - Android Developer

For iOS (and MacOS): Table 1-2 Commonly used directories in macOS at File System Basics - Apple Developer stated that:

only the Public directory is accessible by other users on the system. 
Access to the other directories is restricted by default.

You're welcome @apppro123. I try to be as responsive as possible. Besides, I made an update for this issue title to be more descriptive (helps others able to find it).

I am currently working on version 0.3.0-rc which has a bit of data structure changes, more query features including paging, sort, limit, include (similar to join in SQL), etc. Hopefully will be available end of this month :)

So it is kind a like local storage for web browser right ?

@arnaud-zg Yes, it is local storage (or database) but only for React Native.
