I think that HsqlDB is the only one that stores the data in one file.

I personally prefer Derby because it feels more robust, but I know of other people who swear by HsqlDB.

One$DB is slow in my testing and last time I checked there were some problems with transaction MVCC multi-threading stability.

I like McKoiSQL in general and the code looks good, it's GPL however, to distribute it in a non-GPL app, you need to pay a license fee.

You can use any of these:
        HsqlDB
        Derby
        One$DB
        McKoiSQL

They are all embedded databases [..] written in pure Java.

I wonder if Rifers have any preferences or horror stories here ?

AFAICT One$DB is the new kid on the block, but otherwise they
all appear to be more or less similar.

I'm looking for a DB that can easily be bundled with Tomcat and
Rife to make a more-or-less turnkey application ("Just add Java!" :)
 In production deployment it can be embedded rather than a daemon.

Ideally, the DB will have these features:

        - Works with JDK 1.5
        - Transaction support
        - Single-file storage, rather than multiple files
        - Free for commercial use
        - Commercial support available
        - Can run embedded in a Rife app
        - But it can also run as a daemon, and there is a
          standalone tool to browse the DB

Has anyone found that one of Rife's supported DB's delivers
this in a fairly foolproof way ?


thx
