Why 6mb dataset size for android?

[Nthalk]

I want to know why we carry forward a non-configurable, arbitrary value (6mb) for the maximum database size for Android, while leaving IOS unlimited.

Especially when I'll just get around this with JSON stringify and react-native-sqlite-storage.

Hey @Nthalk,

We did not change the initial limit, because of a note left from original creators. I'm not quite sure if it's still relevant or not, but I think we could let this value be set from user (for example, a new limit passed as argument to AsyncStorage package in MainApplication.

FYI, here are limits of SQLite DB.

thanks.

I'm closing this issue since we've just merged a change to make this limit configurable. Please try it out and let us know how you go.
