Chrome extension, Store data

I've read this question: Chrome Extensions & Javasctipy Database but I want an answer with more details and more clear.

How can I store some of my extension settings?

Is it possible to use a database to do such things with JavaScript?

Is there any good tutorial on it?

I don't want to use Local Storage, because I do not want the behavior of SESSIONS

Thanks.

The following page lists the storage mechanisms in HTML5. WebSQL gives you a pretty good database for your javascript to use.

http://www.html5rocks.com/en/features/storage

UPDATE: It has been some time since I posted this. WebSQL has been dropped. Browsers will probably still continue to support it, but all the implementations have been SQLite. IndexedDB is the way to go now. I have used it and it is a little hard to get into, but works well for a client side database.

UPDATE AGAIN: Chrome changing things. See T.J. Crowder's Answer.

You could use chrome.storage.sync or chrome.storage.local (docs). Both are local storage (not session storage); sync has the additional advantage that it syncs to the user's Google account if they've connected Chrome to it.

I believe this is a simple solution for you if you just want to save some settings. It also has some examples, hope it helps.
