Hi :)
My guess is that he meant
H Sql Db
SQL = the standard language used by most database programs. Most add a
little bit (few extra commands and stuff) to the basic language to help
ensure that people can't easily switch to another program even though they
all ostensibly use Sql.
Db = Database
H is the only bit that distinguishes exactly which program is being talked
about.
Note that other programs also use Sql or Db in their name. For example
MySql/MariaDb, Postgresql. Only Access doesn't have any of that in it's
name. Of course MS make many claims that Access does use Sql but it's such
a heavily tweaked version of Sql that it's almost unrecognisable. If you
learn Access then you need to forget&re-learn if you want to switch to
anything else. The others tend to just have a few differences so it's not
so tough to move between them. At least, so i have heard.
Regards from
Tom :)

And just what is HSLQLDB ;-)
oh, memorizing acronyms seems to me a mighty complicated way to
organize one's thoughts ...
wouldn't it be simpler - easier - to just state the
object(s) rather than leaving the listener trying to interpret what's being
meant by what's being said ;-)
see - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acronym
AND - did you happen to notice in that URL, this phenomenon only
started in 1943 ;-)
before then communication was simply speaking to be
understood ;-)
BTW - many of these acronyms are duplicated - which causes even more
confusion to the listener ;-)
