Access is no back end. As a front end it's fairly adaptable as long as
the total file size does not exceed 2 Gb. That 2 Gb limit pretty much
rules it out as a back end for anything but very light weight databases.

to all that, especially the "Once you are up to date, I'm sure they'd appreciate any
help you can offer.". Plus, making yourself familiar with HsqlDb 1.8 is a good plan
anyway. HsqlDb is java based but it's small and fast so as an external back-end it's
good for most uses.
My workplace is considering buying a specialist database that uses Firebird as
a back-end so i kinda hope Base goes that way too. Unfortunately they have
left the final purchase decision up to someone outside the organisation that is
fairly clueless about compatibility and the alternative back-end is Access.

Mark,
Hey why should you care that it is off topic, no one else seems to understand
the concept ;-)
So, regards movement toward a non-Java JRE dependent default SQL DB for
integration with the Base component.
Several Bugzilla items worth reviewing:
considering and rejecting SQLite as replacement
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38811
find a replacement for HSQLDB v1.8
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51781
considering an update to HSQLDB v2.x
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44854
move default to FireBird not HSQLDB in Base -- this is the current development
effort
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51780
Finally, here is the Wiki based project coordination for implementing
FirebirdSQL
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Base/FirebirdSQL
Once you are up to date, I'm sure they'd appreciate any help you can offer.
Stuart

Well actually, I was going to ask what might replace HSQLDB but I
thought it might be a bit too far off topic.
