HsqlDB


I found out about another opensource db. Yes, I’m kind of new in the open source playing field. Anyone experience with this ? Does it support al the nice things that I know, such as functions, stored procedures ? Actually, the same goes for HsqlDB, I also found out about that just last week. How do these 2 compare to MySQL, as that seems to be the open source database market leader.

Actually, some Google work tells me that HsqlDb is the continuation of Hypersonic.

Open Office is installed together with Ubuntu. I found out today that I can create databases from within the Open Office toolset. The database used is the HSQLDB: “100 % JAVA Database”. I will give it a go to find out what this offers, but my idea is that I will need MySQL when it get’s nasty (high volume datawarehouses).
