Hsqldb table encoding

Question

How do I set the character encoding for a specific table? E.g:

CREATE TABLE COMMENTS (
    ID INTEGER GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY (START WITH 0, INCREMENT BY 1)          


        

Answer 1

HSQLDB certainly stores all data in Unicode (with the exception of TEXT tables where you have to specify UTF-8). Therefore you don't need to specify a character encoding for normal tables.
