Whether it is incomplete or not probably depends on what you'd hope to find in 3.0. :-) > Who is using Apache Derby? Who is using SQLLite? What makes sense for us?

I've not had much experience with Derby, but it seemed to me to be bigger/heavier than H2 or HSQL. I don't know if it is more reliable or feature complete or easier to use, though. Some of that is subjective, anyway.
