       This is a bit late. SQL can be used to do many things including 
defining a primary key. I'm not sure right now what the required SQL 
statement should be. I do know that it requires using Tools -> SQL. This 
opens a dialog in which you can enter SQL statements and execute them.
     This would also require getting the HSQLDB guide for version 1.8. 
The version on the hsqldb website is for 2.8.
