Local database connections with Tiggzi built app and Phonegap

I'm building an app that when finished would have the ability to save user inputs into a local database and which could later be called back into the app by the user.

My questions are:
Since I plan on using Phonegap with my app (so i can have my app available on all the different platforms) and the Tiggzi software does not support a local database at this time, when I export my app to hard code all of the database commands which environment should I be doing this in?
For example should I doing all of the coding for the database connections in HTML5, Java, or something else and should I be doing this through an SDK (if so which one?)

Is there any step by step tutorials that you aware of that might help walk me through this process?

Rather than hard coding all of this into my app is there any API resources I should be looking at?

Any help or insight you can provide on this topic would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

This is a good read before you start: http://help.tiggzi.com/5steps.

Tiggzi is a mobile platform where the app builder (cloud IDE) is a major component. So, you can build anything the browser will support, including using local databases. You get the full power of JavaScript.

The app that you build in Tiggzi is an HTML5/JavaScript/CSS app, plus PhoneGap. If you export the app source you would continue using the same technologies.

If you need to use a database (not browser-based), you can use the database Tiggzi provides (http://io.tiggzi.com) or use any other cloud-based service that's exposed as REST API.
