hsqldb19: Updating HyperSQL

[Pedro Giffuni <pf...@apache.org>]

Hi guys;

For 4.0 we have a task without owner to bring in the hsqldb CWS.

I would like to help in that but I am not good at using Hg and there
appears to be some sort of a mess ... Looking at the web interface:

http://hg.services.openoffice.org/cws/hsqldb19/

It would appear like there is only one changeset??

Pedro.

Ok - well, it shouldn't hurt right - then again I really feel that the
developers on base ended up paying a heavy price with their time from
the decision to field the embedded hsql sdbc - overall it is much better
now then it was, that's true enough - anyway, it you think it's a
reasonably fast change to finish, it would be nice to have use of the
stored procedures...

It works with 2.2.x, the CWS was started when 1.9 was current.

The idea is good, however I think it should be updated first since
the hard part of that is already done.

1.9 is rather out of date, hsql is at 2.2.x currently.

Are you sure this is where you want to put your efforts - It would be
really a good thing, IMO, to maybe take a look at removing Base as a
standard package, moving it to an extension, and leaving behind a
runtime package for ODB files. 

The embedded hsqldb was not the best move folks made here, IMO, while
the functionality most certainly resonates with a segment of the user
base (small-medium(still small)business) - it is again IMO a mistake to
focus on the developement features of the Base package as the end user -
it makes more sense to focus on an in-house developer/resident pcGurur
(or freelancer) as a target audience for a development package ala
extension.
