All this is true, but you might want to consider if you really want to
use the built-in HSQLDB database for serious stuff. It is all java,
which will never be really fast. Even with the java issues solved.

With an external database you can avoid using the jdbc driver and
instead use the SDBC driver.

With debian and ubuntu (oneric, since yesterday) the postgresql sdbc
driver (>0.8) has been included which gives GOOD results with postgresql
serves >= 8.4. (thank you, Lionel)

Windows users will need to wait until someone make the driver available
as an extension.

See http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/PostgreSQL-SDBC

I have also tried the native mysql connector which works fast, but still
has some issues (I did not get autonum fields to work, but that may be
just me, also headache with special characters (unicode translation
problems) ).

Hello

This topic has rather hijacked my question about base and external data 
tables so I am starting a separate thread.

I am well aware of the problem, as summarised here:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Base

The current workaround involves using an older version of openjdk-jre. 
(Not straightforward, as far as I can tell, if using Debian testing - 
yes, I know I could get Java from elsewhere)

However, base needs to work with up to date Java, in other words some 
bug fixing needs doing.  For this reason I have asked a question on 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice .

It seems to me that for the OpenJDK people to be able to sort out this 
problem they need to know what it is about Java that is affecting base 
so badly.  And we are not dependent on Oracle as far as I can see, 
OpenJDK is an open source project and anyone can join in.

So if anyone thinks they know which change in openjdk has caused this 
problem or how to find out I would like them to head over to the 
development mailing list and contribute there.  (And thanks, Alex, for 
your suggestion that it may have something to do with accessibility and 
reminding us that many of the developers are currently at the 
LibreOffice annual conference.)

John
