Hi,
I am a newbie to Xwiki, just a day's worth of knowledge!
I was looking for information on the reasons for choosing HSQL DB as
the backend!
XWiki works with almost any database. We haven't chosen HSQLDB as the
backend. Check the installation guide to install it on the database of
your choice.
However we have chosen HSQLDB for the standalone distribution so that
it's easy for somehow to try out XWiki. We needed a small footprint
and embedded database of this and HSQLDB is a perfect choice for this.
Thanks
