# Using Database
HTML5 Web SQL Database connects to the device database. This section describes Web SQL Database usage.
## Web SQL Database
You need to create a new Database object before accessing to it. `window.openDatabase` function creates a new SQLite database.
```javascript
var db = window.openDatabase(database_name, database_version, database_displayname, database_size);
```
