This method is used in multi app mode to create a database object that can be shared by applications, either using the existing database or creating a new one, i.e. this method will open a database if it already exists; if the database does not exist the method will create it first.
The newly constructed database object represents the database with the given name. The
method signature and behavior is the same as for the openDatabase. This method extends the
window object.
This method is deprecated. It has been replaced by the openDatabase method with appropiate sharing settings.
