Mark, I found this on the HSQLDB website: ------- Readonly connection and database support Connections can be set to readonly using the command SET READONLY [TRUE|FALSE] or using the method Connection.setReadOnly(boolean readonly). Additionally the whole database can be put in read-only mode by manually adding the line 'readonly=true' to the .properties file. All connections are then automatically readonly. The database files will then be opened in readonly mode, and it is thus possible to create a CD with this database. Other variations, allow modifiable readonly database (changes are discarded at shutdown) or inclusion of a database in the application JAR. ------ Does it help you? When I posted a issue about read-only databases, the reply said that they thought there was no problem with HSQLDB. Perhaps you have one of these options set.
