[Biojava-dev] New RDBMS support: hsqldb

[Schreiber, Mark]

Sounds great Len,

Unit tests on BioSQL will be great. It would also make for a nice demo
in the demos section if you felt like putting one in there. Is the
HSQLDB free to distribute?

Hi guys,

I just committed support for hsqldb to the biosql package. At the moment
I'm the only one with the appropriate schema files, but once I've got
them looking/working pretty I'll post them to the biosql people.

Why is hsqldb handy? Well, it's lightweight and fully java, which means
the following possibilities are much easier (and things that I intend to
have a crack at):

1) Make a fully self-contained multiplatform sequence database
application on a CD.

2) Make some unit tests for the biosql packages. I've started on this,
because I've been experiencing problems with sequence features not being
removed properly. Step 1 is to make a unit test to reproduce the
problem, Step 2 is to fix it. hsqldb has a nice mode where you can run
it entirely in memory, which is nice for unit tests.


Cheers,
Len.
