Howdy,

Well, IMO, dumping the DB with a simple script command is great if you are
migrating the data but for exporting data:

You need to look at the HSQLdb documentation on TEXT TABLES and the SELECT
INTO construct.

Using that you can export all of a table or use the standard query
functions to export a subset of records or to join records from multiple
tables into a single export file.

I hope that helps,

Drew
