Do I Need To Refresh A Page To See If The Indexed DB Was Reset?

I started working with Indexed DB for HTML 5 but I am obtaining some strange results. The first one is that I try to clear my database but I only see that it was reset if I refresh

Solution 1:

onsuccess can fire before the results are actually updated in the database (see this answer to a question I asked here. So if update_patients_stored is reading from the database, it might still see the old data. If you use a transaction's oncomplete, then you won't have that problem.

If that is indeed causing your issue, then this will fix it:

            var tx = localDatabase.db.transaction("patients", "readwrite");                    

            tx.objectStore("patients").clear();

            tx.oncomplete = function(event) 
            {
                alert("Patients DB cleared");
                update_patients_stored();
            };
