Yes use hsql jdbc driver. You might want to download the hsqldb project from sourceforge. There is a client application called Hsql Database Manager that you can use to connect to your database. ( /demo/runManager.bat ) I believe your port is 9001 the default, so when the application comes up it will bring up a response window for connecting to the database. The connection type to use is "HSQL Database Engine Server". You can create tables, do DDL etc, from this client application. If you come across a better tool, let me know.
