Using a webview only permits you to access objects and events available to Javascript; no access to main hardware features, such as GPS or Bluetooth (unless you write a translation layer between your Java and Javascript - at which point, you might as well use PhoneGap). PhoneGap exposes your device's hardware to the javascript layer. If you only want to display a webpage or web app, a webview is enough, otherwise I'd go with PhoneGap.

is it possible to access the sqlite(Local data base) using the web view?

yes, but I'd test on a couple of platforms first. Android more or less supports the HTML5 specs, and so you should be able to use the sqlite db objects available to you via HTML5.
