Is indexedDB available on Windows Phone 8.1?

Maybe a weird question as you would probably say, just Google it but I can't find a clear statement. When I do window.indexedDB or windows.msIndexedDB I get an undefined error. That would imply it's not available.

However, when I look at this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj553412.aspx I get the feeling it should be available. Also when I check here: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.5.0/cordova_storage_storage.md.html#Storage it says that indexedDB is available on Windows Phone 8 (no mention of 8.1 though). So it seems to be supported or is it only supported when using PhoneGap? Or was it supported in version 8 and did they remove it in 8.1?

IndexedDB is not yet supported by Windows Phone 8.1, but there is a cordova-plugin-indexeddb shim based on WebSql.

To install the plugin use cordova plugin add com.msopentech.indexeddb

Their WebSQL plugin works well too. It seems to implement WebSQL pretty well. The only difference I've noticed so far is that they don't support the readTransaction method (only transaction).
