No, the problems with hsqldb and LO, AOO, and prior to that OOo, mainly all
revolve around Java, and the way it is instantiated and the Java processes
managed within the LO process. It has always been a disaster just sitting
there, waiting to happen, even at the time that Sun first came up with idea (I
was involved with OOo at the time and voiced my concerns even then, from the
non-developer perspective that I had).
Embedded Firebird doesn't use any of that Java-instantiation stuff. That was
the whole point of moving to it in the first place, to hopefully provide a C++
based engine database that could be embedded without having to rely on Java to
jump through rings of fire. The problem is that we have a ton of legacy ODB
files with embedded hsqldb 1.8 out there in userland, and no easy way to
convert them.
