You can find Phonegap Development storage API.

It's very useful for beginners.

I would like to tell you about two storage mechanisms. First one is a SQL database. Second one is localStorage.

SQL organises your data in a good way, local storage may be your "cache", some kind of qiuck access memory. Both are very usefull. Both work on multiple platforms.

Here are some examples showing storing and accessing data in local storage:

window.localStorage.setItem("key", "value");  
var value = window.localStorage.getItem("key");

I think you will easily find how to access database. I am sure you will find this interesting:

If your values are small and simple, then you can simply use the window.localstorage.
In your javascript:
To create or update:
window.localStorage.setItem(name,value)
To delete:
window.localStorage.removeItem(name)
To get:
window.localStorage.getItem(name)
