FYI, GRANT/REVOKE is now implemented in 10.2. There are a lot of new
features in 10.2, including XML support, online backup, show
table/describe...

I have used both and now rely on McKoiDB for the majority of work.
While it lacks one or two features it has proven to be very stable and
reliable. Derby lacks a couple of key features I needed, especially no
user access control (GRANT, REVOKE).
I found Hypersonic's persistent to be unreliable and gave up after
experiencing corruption on a number of databases.
I started a simple evaluation document to compare key features I needed
which might help. Send me your email address and I'll forward you a
copy if you would like.

Hi,
We have a MySQL database with around 50 tables and we are thinking
about supporting other database engines too. After studying the
options on the Java DB engine implementations, it seems that there are
two important contenders: Apache Derby and Hypersonic SQL. While our
feeling is that Hypersonic SQL is a more mature product, Derby seems
to be hyped about a lot these days and it also has quite some history
since the days of Informix and Cloudscape.
Could you please help in our decision by pointing out some advantages
and shortcomings of Apache Derby versus Hypersonic SQL?
Thanks,
Robert
