I thought Base had HSQLDB built into it, but COULD use a different back 
end if desired.  The only drawback I can see to using HSQLDB is that it 
needs to be accessed from a Java environment.  I have used standalone 
HSQLDB in Java apps and found it to be very robust and surprisingly fast 
in light of the fact that Java is an interpreted language.
