I don't know enough about the specifics of Javascript interfaces to know what is expected here or why WebKit differs from other browsers.
One thought, though, is that *only* Chrome and WebKit implement WebSQL natively. IE, Edge, and Firefox all do not have native support.
So if you're truly testing in something other than Chrome and WebKit, that means you're using a WebSQL polyfill instead of testing native WebSQL implementations.

It definitely has nothing to do with IndexedDB.

What version of Safari? Have you tried in the Safari Technology Preview?
Once you explore that, we'd love a separate bug (or bugs) on the IndexedDB issues you're seeing.</pre>
