I don't see a big problem when implementing this. UTF16 is the native WebKit string representation, so no en/decoding is required, but making it a compile time option like USE(UTF8_DATABASE_STORAGE) might be an option. Are you willing to create a patch?

What is your native format? The difference between UTF16 and UTF8 or Latin1 is only factor 2!
