Starting the HSQLDB Server :
* Open a command prompt or terminal window.
* Navigate to the directory where HSQLDB is installed or where your HSQLDB database files are located.
* Run the following command to start the HSQLDB server:
java -cp path/to/hsqldb.jar org.hsqldb.server.Server --database.0 file:mydatabase --dbname.0 mydatabase?
* Replace
path/to/hsqldb.jar with the actual path to the HSQLDB JAR file on your system. Replace
mydatabase with the name of your database.
* If the server starts successfully, you should see log messages indicating that the server has started and is listening for connections.
Stopping the HSQLDB Server :
* To stop the HSQLDB server, you can use one of the following methods:
* Press
Ctrl + C in the terminal window where the server is running. This will send a termination signal to the server process, causing it to shut down gracefully.
* Alternatively, you can send a shutdown command to the server using a SQL client or tool. Connect to the server using the JDBC URL
jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/mydatabase (replace
mydatabase with your actual database name), and execute the SQL command
SHUTDOWN;. This will instruct the server to shut down after completing any pending transactions.
