I would give Apache Derby a go. Although, I should mention, it has been even slower than HSQLDB for me in some simple tests. The problem with HSQLDB is that its lacking a few key things, such as using indexes for sorts (tablescan is bad, it also makes bigger-than-RAM tables impossible to use in certain ways)! I now see HSQLDB more as a structured in-RAM hashtable than as a real DB. --- John B?ckstrand
