Yahoo reports – Microsoft Office, with which OpenOffice is often compared, comes with the Access database. Starting with 2.0, however, OpenOffice will include the open-source HSQL database engine. HSQL is a Java-based database. It is an SQL (structured query language) DBMS engine that’s also designed for use with JDBC (Java DataBase Connect). As such, it’s a database designer tool, not an office-worker tool.”
