From scanning the docs quickly, HSQLDB has a native storage format of
csv that can directly attached without import or export
http://www.hsqldb.org/doc/guide/ch06.html there are some caveats with
this format and there are quite a few ways to run the database (memory
only, in process, cached etc.) and I'd defer to someone with more
experience.
