You could serve multiple databases with one server before. The new feature allows you to open the databases remotely. Re the advantage / disadvantage of multiple databases vs single database, it is hard to tell.

Does this mean we could potentially launch just one process and specify in connections the target db files to be opened (cached mode) ? Is there advantage / disadvantage? I'm thinking that even if I boost the memory allocation to the one process I may gain certain efficiencies and lower my overall system requirements with this new feature? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of fredt Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 1:28 PM To: hsqldb-developers; hsqldb-user Subject: [Hsqldb-developers] HSQLDB 1.8.0.4 Released This is the latest bug-fix update to 1.8.0. All reported bugs have been fixed in this update. There is also a change to the way the .properties file is saved, avoiding deletion of this file when database and system shutdown coincide. Details in changelist_1_8_0.txt file An enhancement to Server and WebServer has also been incorporated. This feature is enabled by setting a server property that allows the server to start without any databases, while subsequent connections to the server that include a database file:, mem: or res: URL can open the database on the server side. Development of 1.8.1 is moving and the current version in the CVS hsqldb-dev3 directory is very stable. New features are regularly being added and the alpha release is scheduled for May or early June.
