HSQLDB 1.9 Beta is releasedNow 8 years since the formation of the HSQL Development Group, the beta version of HSQLDB 1.9 is out. Version 1.9 is mostly new code and supports the widest range of SQL Standard features seen in any open source database engine. We have reached SQL Standard conformance to almost full SQL-1992 Advanced Level and SQL:2008 core language features and support an extensive list of SQL:2008 optional features. See the list of new features in version 1.9. Please test this beta version and report any issues you find. Download available from the file download page. HSQLDB 1.8.0HSQLDB 1.8.0 final is out. A year of solid development since 1.7.2 brings a more powerful engine that supports data up to 8GB, has better SQL capabilities and runs with greater resilience. HSQLDB 1.8.0 is also the database engine in OpenOffice.org 2.0, soon to appear on millions of desktops around the world. We celebrate this event by launching our new website at hsqldb.org. Here we have more flexibility and will soon add hsqldb-driven interactive content. HSQLDB (HyperSQL DataBase) is the leading SQL relational database engine written in Java. It has a JDBC driver and supports a rich subset of ANSI-92 SQL (BNF tree format) plus SQL 99 and 2003 enhancements. It offers a small (less than 100k in one version for applets), fast database engine which offers both in-memory and disk-based tables and supports embedded and server modes. Additionally, it includes tools such as a minimal web server, in-memory query and management tools (can be run as applets) and a number of demonstration examples. The product is currently being used as a database and persistence engine in many Open Source Software projects and even in commercial projects and products. In its current version it is extremely stable and reliable. It is best known for its small size, ability to execute completely in memory, its flexibility and speed. This feature-packed software is completely free to use and distribute under our licenses , based on the standard BSD license. Completely free of cost or restrictions and fully compatible with all major open source licenses. Java source code and extensive documentation included. Our group was formed in 2001 to continue Thomas Mueller's closed Hypersonic SQL Project. We have actively developed and released six new versions of the database since April 2001 and the code has moved on from the Hypersonic SQL original. The latest release version features a wide range of new functionality and code rewrite. The project enjoys a high ranking among all SourceForge projects (100,000) with over 1,000,000 direct downloads. |
