Re: [libreoffice-users] HSLQLDB syntax

       Thanks  :-)

       Now ... I thought Java was an out-dated thing -
             which no one used anymore and that should be dis-connected
from action  ;-)

       So it's come back with a convoluted acronym and websites hither 'n
yon  ;-)   ;-)   ;-)

       I guess I'll always remain behind in this electronic world ...
maze   ;-)

STOP!

Anne, glad you're back but seriously?

HSQLDB  is the short title and Web address for HyperSQL, the Java language
based SQL relational database that StarOffice then Sun chose as the
imbedded database for the project.

Currently we include the 1.8 release, and efforts will either see that
ripped out of LibreOffice to be replaced, or the version of HSQLDB will be
upgraded to a current 2.3 release.

Mark, et al., all the details you could ever want  are on the project
webpage at hsqldb.org, just mind the version differences.

Stuart

Hi :)
My guess is that he meant

H Sql Db

SQL = the standard language used by most database programs.  Most add a
little bit (few extra commands and stuff) to the basic language to help
ensure that people can't easily switch to another program even though they
all ostensibly use Sql.

Db = Database

H is the only bit that distinguishes exactly which program is being talked
about.

Note that other programs also use Sql or Db in their name.  For example
MySql/MariaDb, Postgresql.  Only Access doesn't have any of that in it's
name.  Of course MS make many claims that Access does use Sql but it's such
a heavily tweaked version of Sql that it's almost unrecognisable.  If you
learn Access then you need to forget&re-learn if you want to switch to
anything else.  The others tend to just have a few differences so it's not
so tough to move between them.  At least, so i have heard.

Regards from
Tom :)
