How to create a database in HSQLDB?

@flossie.kessler 

To create a database in HSQLDB, you can use the CREATE DATABASE statement. Here's the syntax:

1

CREATE DATABASE database_name [WITH DBPROPERTIES (property_name=property_value [, property_name=property_value]*)]

For example:

1

CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;

This will create a new database with the name "mydatabase".

Keep in mind that you need to have the HSQLDB server running in order to create a database. You can start the server by running the hsqldb command from the command line.

Once the server is running, you can connect to it using a JDBC client such as DbVisualizer or Squirrel SQL. You can then use SQL statements to create tables, insert data, and perform other database tasks.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Additional information: To create a database in HSQLDB, follow these steps:

1. Start the HSQLDB server by running the command hsqldb in the command line.
2. Open a JDBC client, such as DbVisualizer or Squirrel SQL.
3. Connect to the HSQLDB server using the JDBC URL jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/. The default JDBC connection settings for HSQLDB are localhost for the hostname and 9001 for the port. You can adjust these settings based on your setup.
4. Once connected, execute the SQL statement CREATE DATABASE database_name;, where database_name is the name you want to give to your database. For example, CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;.
5. You can now create tables, insert data, and perform other database operations using SQL statements.

If you prefer to create the database using a specific set of properties, you can use the WITH DBPROPERTIES clause with the CREATE DATABASE statement. For example:

1

CREATE DATABASE mydatabase WITH DBPROPERTIES (hsqldb.database_version=2.0.1, hsqldb.log_data=false);

This creates a database named "mydatabase" with specific properties set (e.g., database version and log data configuration).

Remember to stop the HSQLDB server when you're done working with the database. You can stop the server by running the SHUTDOWN command in the JDBC client, or by shutting down the server process in the command line.

Please note that the exact steps might vary depending on your specific setup and the version of HSQLDB you are working with.
