The onversionchange event handler of the IDBDatabase interface handles the versionchange event, fired when a database structure change (IDBOpenDBRequest.onupgradeneeded event or IDBFactory.deleteDatabase) was requested elsewhere (most probably in another window/tab on the same computer). 
 This is different from the versionchange transaction (but it is related). 
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers
IDBDatabase.onversionchange = function(event) { ... }
 This example shows an IDBOpenDBRequest.onupgradeneeded block that creates a new object store; it also includes onerror and onabort functions to handle non-success cases, and an onversionchange function to notify when a database structure change has occurred. 
request.onupgradeneeded = function(event) { var db = event.target.result; db.onerror = function(event) { note.innerHTML += '<li>Error opening database.</li>'; }; db.onabort = function(event) { note.innerHTML += '<li>Database opening aborted!</li>'; }; // Create an objectStore for this database var objectStore = db.createObjectStore("toDoList", { keyPath: "taskTitle" }); // define what data items the objectStore will contain objectStore.createIndex("hours", "hours", { unique: false }); objectStore.createIndex("minutes", "minutes", { unique: false }); objectStore.createIndex("day", "day", { unique: false }); objectStore.createIndex("month", "month", { unique: false }); objectStore.createIndex("year", "year", { unique: false }); objectStore.createIndex("notified", "notified", { unique: false }); note.innerHTML += '<li>Object store created.</li>'; db.onversionchange = function(event) { note.innerHTML += '<li>a database change has occurred; you should refresh this browser window, or close it down and use the other open version of this application, wherever it exists.</li>'; }; };
