HSQLDB is the leading SQL relational database engine written in Java. It has a JDBC driver and supports a rich subset of ANSI-92 SQL (BNF tree format) plus SQL 99 and 2003 enhancements. It offers a small (less than 100k in one version for applets), fast database engine which offers both in-memory and disk-based tables and supports embedded and server modes.

I'd be using a database but can't find a good GUI for any of the OSS databases. At least nothing that even remotely compares to the ease of use of MS Access.
Until there are some good GUI's the OSS databases will be restricted to servers.
Where are the database tools for desktop use?
As long as Microsoft rules the desktop it will rule everything else.
