We're still using the base of hsqldb 1.8 with patches for use with java 7. See: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121754 There had been some additional discussion switching to hsql 2.3 but this has not been done.

We've had requests for other dbs like sqlite but these were not in-depth discussions of a replacement. At some point, we do need a more in-depth discussion about Base.
