HSQL Database Engine Description

HSQL Database Engine is a Java based relational database engine with a JDBC driver, supporting a large subset of ANSI-92 SQL. A small, fast engine with both in memory and disk based tables. Main features: General: Original code, based on in-depth study of database theory and the SQL Standard Ahead of other open-source solutions in supported SQL features The fastest overall open-source SQL implementation for small and medium sized databases Three transaction control models, including lock based and MVCC models Fully multithreaded Compact code footprint JAVA: 100% Java Support JDK 1.1.x, 1.2.x, 1.3.x, 1.4.x, 1.5.x, 1.6.x in HyperSQL 1.8.1 and 1.5.x and 1.6.x in HyperSQL 2.0 Extensive JDBC interface support with batch statement and scrollable ResultSet functionality Updatable, insertable ResultSet functionality Full JDBC DatabaseMetaData and ResultSetMetaData support Java stored procedures and functions Full support for PreparedStatement objects to speed up query processing SQL: Relational Database Management System, which can store Serializable Java objects Very extensive support for SQL:2008 Standard syntax, including most optional features Supports all base data types of the SQL Standard, including BINARY, BIT, BOOLEAN, date-time, INTERVAL, BLOB, CLOB Supports datetime and interval arithmetic with and without time zone Supports user-defined DOMAIN types, including type constraints Fast SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE and MERGE operations INNER, LEFT OUTER, RIGHT OUTER and FULL joins NATURAL, USING and UNION joins UNION, EXCEPT, INTERSECT, including use of parentheses, limits and offsets, ALL, DISTINCT and CORRESPONDING keywords Scalar (single value) SELECTS, row, table and correlated subqueries including IN, EXISTS, ANY, ALL Views, temporary tables and sequences Updatable views Primary key, unique and check constraints on single or multiple columns Referential Integrity (foreign keys) on multiple columns with full cascading options (delete, update, set null, set default) ORDER BY, GROUP BY, HAVING, FETCH (LIMIT) and OFFSET COUNT, SUM, MIN, MAX, AVG and statistical aggregate functions Full support for SQL expressions such as CASE .. WHEN .. ELSE .. , NULLIF , BETWEEN, MATCHES, etc. SQL standard autoincrement IDENTITY column support plus sequences SQL standard GENERATED columns calculated using other columns and function calls Very extensive set of built-in functions Transaction COMMIT, ROLLBACK and SAVEPOINT support Multiple schemata per database Triggers, implemented as Java classes, or as SQL statements Database security with passwords, user rights and roles with GRANT and REVOKE down to column level Extensive set of ALTER TABLE commands, including change of table column type SQL stored procedures and functions INSTEAD OF triggers which enable insert, update and delete on several table with a single statement Full set of SQL Standard INFORMATION SCHEMA views Query optimizer can use indexes for AND, OR, IN predicates Persistence: In-memory tables for fastest operation Disk based tables for large data sets Text tables with external file data sources such as CSV files can be used as SQL tables CLOB and BLOB storage up to 64 TB with no memory limit on individual LOB size Disk tables (CACHED TABLE) up to 256GB and text tables up to 2GB each Size of each string or binary item only limited by memory Fast startup and shutdown with internal incremental backup feature Online and offline backup capability Database dump as SQL script with or without data Deployment: Embedded (into Java applications) and Client-Server operating modes Three client server protocols: HSQL, HTTP and HSQL-BER - can run as an HTTP web server - all with SSL option Can be used in applets, read-only media (CD), inside jars, webstart and embedded applications Multiple databases per JVM ODBC support Utilities: Powerful and compact Java command line and GUI tools for database management Transfer tool for conversion of databases to / from other popular database management systems
