      And just what is HSLQLDB  ;-)

This is not an acronym. It can't be pronounced as a word. (See dictionary
definition in URL below.)

      oh, memorizing acronyms seems to me a mighty complicated way to
organize one's thoughts ...
               wouldn't it be simpler - easier - to just state the

object(s) rather than leaving the listener trying to interpret what's being

meant by what's being said  ;-)

     see -  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acronym

      AND - did you happen to notice in that URL, this phenomenon only
started in 1943 ;-)

do you know SPQR? or INRI? or Q.E.D.?

None of these are acronyms either.

Senatus PupulusQue Romanus: did you know that the Roman street catchbasins
and manhole covers are marked SPQR? Yes, today.
