SuSE probably includes JRE. However, OOo 2.0 seems to require the 1.5
version of JRE (also known as version 5.0). Using JRE 1.4.2 causes some
unnecessary crashes and other problems in OOo 2.0. The latest version of JRE
is available at: www.java.com.
When JRS answered your question with a yes, he was saying that OOo 2.0 can
be used as the front end to a database such as MySQL AND it has its own
relational database using the HSQL database engine. More information on how
to use it is in the manual you have.
