The "integration" of HSQLDB into a so called "database document" was
the biggest mistake ever. Just to be clear: HSQLDB is a great software
and so is LibreOffice. The way how both products are merged into one
container format generates a caricature of a database which looks and
feels a little bit like an MS Access file.
Creating a real HSQLDB and connecting a separate Base document to it
is very easy. Just set up a HSQLDB server for your local network or
for the local machine and import the script file of your embedded
database.
I would argue that it serves a purpose but has little use for a serious
database system. I expect that it will suffice for most of the people
that can tell the difference, but, it will sadly fail for some that have
no idea what the problems can be when they start doing things like
adding 50MB worth of data (pictures perhaps). I will tacitly refuse to
say why I know.
