This is not a matter of partisanship, fanboyism nor objective evidence
of the better product. The important thing is that you are able to
connect to whatever you already have. The database of your online shop,
your business software, your accounting software, some dBase directory,
spreadsheets or csv files. The connectivity feature lets you use tabular
data without troublesome export/import.

If all you have is an embedded HSQLDB, you can convert this to HSQL 2
within minutes. Conversion into Postrgre/MySQL/whatever would require
careful editing of SQL scripts, testing and possibly adjustment of
queries, forms, reports.
