| <p>HSQLDB (HyperSQL DataBase) is a modern relational database manager |
| that conforms closely to the SQL:2008 Standard and JDBC 4 specifications. |
| It supports all core features and many of the optional features of |
| SQL:2008.</p> |
| <p>The first versions of HSQLDB were released in 2001. Version 2.0, |
| first released in 2010, includes a complete rewrite of most parts of the |
| database engine.</p> |
| <p>This documentation covers HyperSQL version 2.0. This documentation |
| is regularly improved and undated. The latest, updated version can be |
| found at http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0/</p> |
| <p>If you notice any mistakes in this document, or if you have problems |
| with the procedures themselves, please use the HSQLDB support facilities |
| which are listed at http://hsqldb.org/support</p> |

| <p>This document is available in several formats.</p> |
| <p> |
| You may be reading this document right now at http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0, or in |
| a distribution somewhere else. |
| I hereby call the document distribution from which you are reading |
| this, your <span class="emphasis"><em>current distro</em></span>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0 hosts the latest production versions of all available formats. |
| If you want a different format of the same <span class="emphasis"><em>version</em></span> |
| of the document you are reading now, then you should try your |
| current distro. |
| If you want the latest production version, you should try http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Sometimes, distributions other than http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0 do not host all |
| available formats. |
| So, if you can't access the format that you want in your current |
| distro, you have no choice but to use the newest production version at |
| http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0. |
