 **Options for local databases:**
 
 * `auto_compaction`: This turns on auto compaction, which means `compact()` is called after every change to the database. Defaults to `false`.

+* `adapter`: One of `'indexeddb'`, `'idb'`, `'leveldb'`, `'nodesqlite'`, or `'http'`.
 * `revs_limit`: Specify how many old revisions we keep track (not a copy) of. Specifying a low value means Pouch may not be able to figure out whether a new revision received via replication is related to any it currently has which could result in a conflict. Defaults to `1000`.
 * `deterministic_revs`: Use a md5 hash to create a deterministic revision number for documents. Setting it to false will mean that the revision number will be a random UUID. Defaults to true.
 * `view_update_changes_batch_size`: Specify how many change records will be consumed at a time when rebuilding view indexes when the `query()` method is used. Defaults to 50.

 [any LevelDOWN-based implementation](https://github.com/rvagg/node-levelup/wiki/Modules#storage-back-ends) in either Node or the browser.
 However this should be considered **extremely experimental** and not designed for production use.
