The new HSQLDBHSQLDB 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 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 it's 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 and has as its charter the continuation of Thomas Mueller's closed Hypersonic SQL Project. We have actively developed and released six new versions of the database since April 2001. The latest release version features a wide range of new functionality and code rewrite. The project enjoys a top 50 ranking among all SourceForge projects (100,000) with over 380,000 downloads. |
HSQLDB SupportWareHSQLDB is Java developers' best choice for development, testing and deployment of database applications. The latest HSQLDB 1.8.0 is fast, powerful and reliable -- more so than ever. We have maintained our leading position through continuous enhancements. As this work needs funding, we are introducing a new program, HSQLDB SupportWare. HSQLDB SupportWare allows individual developers and organizations to support the maintenance and development of HSQLDB. Participation in the program is by annual subscription or sponsorship. details on SupportWare page SupportWare Subscription Developer subscription - $100 or €80 details on SupportWare page How SupportWare works At the beginning of each quarter we will assess the level of subscriptions and decide on the development plan for the next quarter. The more subscriptions and sponsorships, the more development. The wishes of the SupportWare participants will be taken into account in the development effort. details on SupportWare page How to join HSQLDB SupportWare needs a kickstart. Please subscribe now. The plan for the developments in the next quarter (Jul-Sep) will be set during the next two weeks. details on SupportWare page |
