It was in the latest webinar, I think.. it was mentioned that

It would be nice to know in which quarter of the year, if its
introduction can't be nailed doen to a particular month ...:-)
Database connectivity in the way that "normal" LiveCode apps have
_can't_ be provided on the HTML5 platform because JavaScript apps can't
open raw sockets. It's unlikely that you'll be able to connect an
LiveCode HTML5 app to a MySQL server in the foreseeable future, for example.
In the future, the plan involves improving the networking and URL
operations available in HTML5 standalones to allow you to use REST APIs
to persist data (e.g. using FireBase). However, there's no current
schedule for doing this work, so I'm not able to answer your question.
