Thanks for the answer Scott.

But I am application oriented instead of web oriented. My clients will do what I want them to do (if they want my stuff to work.) If that means upgrading or sticking with a version of Gears, so be it.

But my question is: is there a command line utility that I can run I my personal machine that allows me to see what is stored in the SQLite that Gears installed. SQLite has such a utility, but I was unable to "find" the Gears data I had stored. Is that because I am doing it wrong, or because it is prevented (I wonder).

Can I access this SQLite data with applications that are local to the computer running Google Gears?

While this is certainly a thing that could happen, I think it would be a very risky thing to do. The placement of the data files could change for good reasons related to security, or for no particular reason at all. There are a lot of tweaks that Gears could make which make sense when it knows all users of the database are in the browser, but which could break badly if external users are accessing the data. Gears really makes no commitment to anyone operating outside of a Gears-enabled JavaScript program.
