HSQLDB (a.k.a. Hypersonic)

- I am using it in its default configuration, which means that data will not be retained when the JBoss Application Server is shut down
Notes
[edit | edit source]The above configuration is for Windows XP. I've set up the same environment on Linux (Kubuntu 7.10) without much difficulty as well.
