How to connect to HSQLDB [closed]

Answer 1

Read the complete tutorial on their documentation site here. But below are the two important steps. I, however suggest you to ue Java DB that comes with the JDK itself from JDK 1.6 on wards. Here is the official documentation.

// Load the HSQL Database Engine JDBC driver
        // hsqldb.jar should be in the class path or made part of the current jar
        Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");

        // connect to the database.   This will load the db files and start the
        // database if it is not alread running.
        // db_file_name_prefix is used to open or create files that hold the state
        // of the db.
        // It can contain directory names relative to the
        // current working directory
        conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:"
                                           + db_file_name_prefix,    // filenames
                                           "sa",                     // username
                                           "");                      // password
    }
