Details

:: Developer Documentation Request Request Type: Correction Gecko Version: unspecified Technical Contact: :: Details The onupgradeneeded handler is also called when the database doesn't exist yet. What's the value of versionChangeEvent.oldVersion in that case? Probably zero, but it needs to be mentioned somewhere.
That does seem to be the case: https://www.w3.org/TR/IndexedDB/#dfn-version > Each database also has a current version. When a database is first created, its version is 0.

I've added a note to cover this just below the summary paragraph (I ran an example to check that it is 0). I also added a better example, one that actually uses oldVersion ;-)
