A major rewrite of HSQLDB has been done over the last 4 years. Release Candidate versions have been available during 2009 and will lead to the release of version 2.0 this month.
HSQLDB core developer, Campbell Boucher-Burnet has developed a .NET port of HSQLDB 1.8.0. The development is in its late stages. Other core developer, Blaine Simpson has been developing an ODBC driver for HSQLDB 1.9. This currently works for direct statements and supports Windows and Linux. Code for both efforts can be downloaded from the SVN repository.
HSQLDB is included with OOo, and downloaded over 100 million times. Some specific information relating to the use of HSQLDB within OpenOffice.org can be found here.
Commercial support for business users of HSQLDB is available from the HyperXtremeSQL web site. Buying support will help ensure the continued maintenance and development of HSQLDB. A new, higher-performance database engine based on HSQLDB is also available from that site.
Java Developers Journal readers voted HSQLDB as the second runner up in the category Best Enterprise Database - Readers' Choice for 2005.

It offers a small, fast database engine which offers in-memory and disk-based tables and supports embedded and server modes. Additionally, it includes tools such as a command line SQL tool and GUI query tools. The product is currently being used as a database and persistence engine in many Open Source Software projects and in commercial projects and products. In its current version it is extremely stable and reliable. It is best known for its small size, ability to execute completely in memory, its flexibility and speed. This feature-packed software is completely free to use and distribute under our licenses , based on the standard BSD license. Completely free of cost or restrictions and fully compatible with all major open source licenses. Java source code and extensive documentation included. Our group was formed in 2001 to continue Thomas Mueller's closed Hypersonic SQL Project. We have actively developed and released 8 new versions of the database since April 2001 and the code has moved on from the Hypersonic SQL original. The latest version features the most extensive set of SQL features ever in an open-srouce database engine. The project enjoys a high ranking among all SourceForge projects (100,000) with over 1,200,000 direct downloads. |
