right, but lookie here: 
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/xml-cocoon2/src/webapp/WEB-INF/db/cocoondb.script?rev=1.2&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

HSQL creates scripts based on your JDBC calls that can easily be run on 
a big boy database (like postgreSQL ...haha) -- As far as I can tell 
thats how HSQL stores the data.  And they aren't necesarilly the same 
insert/create statements that were passed in via jdbc *shrug*...they 
seem to be genericised.  (excuse my ignorance, I'm going only on the 
online docs)

So if all this thing does is that....then I don't get it.
