Update persistent.asciidoc

[ghost]

In the first example I changed some typos. The migration part had a wrong identation and it had a type definition that was not needed.

In the second example made some changes so it solves #213

Thanks for your PR! Is there any reason why you have introduced the helper function runSqlite' function ? This seems to work fine for me:

oke, on the last one with the migration your code works.
The code before it , do not work without the helper function.

I see then this error message as described in #213

So should I delete the helper function in the code with the migration and let it stay in the code without the migration.

@RoelofWobben Sorry for my late reply.

Yes.

Oke I will do that after my holydays.
