We were using Firebird for about 5 years and replaced it
with H2 about 1.5 year ago.
The main reason we changed was that we needed to switch
to an embedded Java database that required no further installation
(the program is installed on off-line remote locations, mainly ships).
H2 is exactly that and adds at least the following benefits:
1) Very small deployment size (~1MB vs ~6MB for the installer)
2) Performance (H2 is faster although I dot have any hard facts)
3) No separate installers need to be distributed per OS/architecture
(H2 is fully implemented in Java)
Finally we never had a corruption or such other issue with H2
and has been rock-solid for us, hence we never looked back.
Although as Martin said if you plan to use it for several applications
of which some may be non-Java then I am not sure if H2 would be the
best choice.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
