[Building Sakai] I am going to say this really quietly and hope no one hears me....

Have we reached the point where we should just pitch HSQL and tell folks to install MySql?

HSQL is no-where - it is going nowhere - we are not even on the most recent code - we are way past the point that a "QuickStart" is essential for us to gain market share.   I could change my shell scripts to do auto-setup of MySql and just tell folks to instal MySql.  Frankly any developer testing on HSQL is a waste of time.  Things like Spring JDBC and Hibernate simply do not care *AT ALL* about HSQL 1.

If people are not capable of getting a MySql up and running - we are not doing them much of a favor of making it easy for them.   Heck even Moodle assumes MySql is already installed.....

(ducking for cover)

What a coincidence! This just came up earlier today!

I would say we switch to H2:
http://www.h2database.com/html/main.html

It's what pretty much everyone else uses AND it has a mysql
compatibility mode where you can use mysql specific DDL and SQL. It's
not 100% but for demoing and unit testing it will do fine.

One of the nice things about the HSQL support is that it allows you to
test something easily and quickly, straight out of the box with no
further setup necessary. Perhaps we just need to change from HSQL to
something else?

I was going to suggest we switch to H2 as well.

As Seth says, the nice thing about using these embedded db's is you can quickly test and then blow it all away.

cheers,
