Hello, Considering the number of bugs about Firebird migration (see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116968) and the fact that these bugs may not be trivial to fix (see https://wastack.wordpress.com/2018/07/25/database-migration-in-libreoffice-bug-fixes-and-more/), thought it could be relevant to put Firebird back to experimental or at least stop to propose Firebird migration when opening an odb file with hsqldb embedded.
Remark: don't misunderstand me, I'd enjoy to replace HSQLDB to help to remove Java dependency. Also, I know that HSQLDB upgrade has been delayed/cancelled because we had plan to replace it by Firebird but let's face it, I don't think we're ready to propose Firebird widely. Let's not forget there are too few dev experts working on Base part (Lionel + Tamás + Jean-Pierre Ledure for specific Access part). (I'm trying sometimes to work on Base part but most of bugs are too difficult for me and require a good understanding of Base mechanisms). Now perhaps I'm too pessimistic here, so would like your opinion. Any thoughts?
