You can also consider using U1db, but it'll require some changes in your 
lib. Here is some doc :
http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/devel/ubuntu-13.10/qml/u1db-qt5/tutorial.html

BTW, it would be easier if U1db objects had some CRUD API :
ex :
var doc = mydatabase.CreateDoc(docId, values);
doc.Write(...);
var content = doc.Read();
var doc2 = mydatabase.GetDocById(docId2);


Tip : I had a weird bug on tablet because the path of my database was 
"name" instead of "name.db".

Cheers,
Michel
