Ian,

I do not know if HSQL is only intended for prototyping and thus is not 
suitable for production work. I would say as a MySQL/MariaDB user is 
that HSQL is probably intended for lighter production work where a small 
office needs a database. In this scenario the data requirements are 
modest, maybe a couple GB of data, but their data is complex enough to 
need the querying features of a relational database.
