Mark, This is another problem with using HSQLDB as an example that I overlooked. It is cumbersome. And to be honest I would use a MySQL DB on "localhost" if I wanted to create a database. Although PHPmyAdmin is better, Base is more visual and seems to work well. Of course anyone with DB experience will want to use their preferred DB.
And, there has been some discussion of losing much of the Java dependancies, especially since Sun and Oracle aren't in the picture any longer. So HSQLDB may someday be replaced with something like SQLite.

I'd suggest using all sorts of example backends. A "Here's how you'd do x with the native HSQLDB and here's how you'd do it with" a.n.other engine. A couple "side-by-side" like that, and then just vary engines in the examples.
