Right - and once the jar has been added into the system you can also
connect to a HSQLdb server running in FILE mode - meaning that the
server will not need to be started before the connection is established,
instead in the connection string you designate the file directory to be
used and as part of establishing the connection it starts an instance of
the server in your process space and uses the directory listed to store
the work files.
