My first medium complex project with input forms to collect daily job
data used the embedded DB as well. It worked flawlessly. But the most
important preconditions is that you really do your backup every time
after closing the connection.
Nevertheless, there are far too many reports about complete data loss.
Meanwhile it is very easy to split a self-contained Base document into a
frontend and a stable backend which can be distributed and installed on
multiple machines with a tiny little bit of extra effort. Apart from
keeping your data safe and warm, HSQL 2.3 provides a lot more features
than HSQL 1.8.
