If a database with multiple users is not planned, or if you wish to gain some initial experience with a database, the internal database engine will suffice. Creating a new database using the internal HSQL engine If necessary, alternatives in Firebird are shown. The database examples in this book continue to refer to HSQLDB, but are customized so that most functions are directly transferable to Firebird. The Firebird database is included in “experimental features” in version 6.4 due to its instability (though it has improved much). Since LibreOffice 4.2, an internal Firebird database has been available in addition to the internal HSQLDB one. The entire data set is stored in an ODB file that has a file locking mechanism in the configuration folder when opened by a user. This HSQLDB database can be used by only a single user. In addition, LibreOffice contains a version of the HSQL database engine. The database component of LibreOffice, called Base, provides a graphical interface for working with databases. The basics of creating a database in LibreOffice are described in Chapter 8 of the Getting Started Guide, Getting Started with Base. Other versions of LibreOffice may differ in appearance and functionality.
