Hypersonic is dead...see at
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=68224 .
Instantdb is the only thing close.
The open-source developers of the Interbase project have revolted and taken
their code with them (hinting at lack of co-operation from Inprise). They
can be found at http://firebird.sourceforge.net/fb_main.html . the project
nam is now (obviously) Firebird.
SAPdb is Oracle crap, frozen at v.7, with _lots_ of additional libraries and
no support (and damn few updates). Find it at
http://www.sap.com/solutions/technology/sapdb/ .
For my money, if you cant find a decent db for your project at SourceForge
or Freshmeat, go with Sybase ASA or IBM UDB and pay for it. Otherwise,
write your own.
