Wrt the cast error, it might be that the object in 'result' is not "instanceof $wnd.IDBDatabase". This would be a bug in Safari; and uncheckedCast is indeed the workaround.

Actually I believe it is a bug in closures externs from which elemental2 is generated. Without checking my guess is that IDBDatabase is annotated with a @constructor tag rather than a @interface which is incorrect as the spec defines it as an interface [1]. Unfortunately, this is a common problem with some of the closure compiler externs. It does not impact people using closure compiler. Unfortunately, the jsinterop-generator will generate incorrect code if the extern is incorrectly annotated.
