There are two surveys on our site and I hadn't looked at them for a while. The first survey asks which platform our users depoy on. The second survey asks which feature they want.
Regarding the OS platforms, we know for sure that the PDA / small device area is under-represented. We'll support everythin :) as fully as it is possible. Regarding features, all of them are important. Especially documentation. The original Hypersonic documentation was basically a starter's guide. Far more detailed information is needed. (A lot of HSQLDB users are highly experiencedl develpers who can figure things out from reading the source, but we should not expect this from all the users) . There is also a Feature request tracker which has many interesting suggestions for improvements. We should take every user request into account.

For permanently evolving web applications, where the table structure changes time after time, is very frustrating not having this feature. I'd need Get/SetCharacterStream implemented in order to use this for our application. Also It would be great if this common syntax was supported (it's kinda trivial, but common among DBMS's): INSERT INTO myTable ( myTable.Column1, myTable.Column2) VALUES ( 'x','y'); hsqldb throws up when the table name is listed before the columns. Our (homegrown) automatic sql generator puts this on for clarification, whenever it can. Thanks. I love this project. I'm very willing to add to it, with what java skills I have. Maybe some documentation of all the features. I can't seem to find an overview. Modifying the handling of cached tables so that their data is actually stored in the disk rather than in memory. This would enable databases that would not be limited by the size of the memory. Views Views & Views You'll hate me for saying it - more docs! code modulus, saparate hsqldg in jdbc, web server , parser, executer, disk cache sistem , indexs ... and as meny modules as posible. great documentation views _______________________________________________ hsqldb-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hsqldb-developers
