The "integration" of HSQLDB into a so called "database document" was the biggest mistake ever. Just to be clear: HSQLDB is a great software and so is LibreOffice. The way how both products are merged into one container format generates a caricature of a database which looks and feels a little bit like an MS Access file.I would argue that it serves a purpose but has little use for a serious database system. I expect that it will suffice for most of the people that can tell the difference, but, it will sadly fail for some that have no idea what the problems can be when they start doing things like adding 50MB worth of data (pictures perhaps). I will tacitly refuse to say why I know.Creating a real HSQLDB and connecting a separate Base document to it is very easy. Just set up a HSQLDB server for your local network or for the local machine and import the script file of your embedded database.
