For a couple of database applications that will be used by Microserfs it appears the most parsimonious development path is to use LibreOffice's Base tool. Base uses HyperSQL (a.k.a. hsqldb) which is a rdbms written in jave. I was told that hsqldb-1.8 built into LO-4.3.5 is as buggy as a summer evening along a Michigan lake because of what Oracle took out or added in compared to the stand-alone version. Numerous reports of data loss. So, ...
Having lost most masochistic tendencies I downloaded hsqldb-2.3.2 and will install a third rdbms just for these two applications. But, there are no instructions in the source .zip file on how to build and install it! I kid you not. They must assume that only experienced java coders will use it. If you know java development, please contact me off the list. I'll provide a list of the contents of the build/ directory. Tried what looked like a main file, but no joy there.
