Hi Dave, You might also like to have a look at the H2 Database Engine, see - http://www.h2database.com/html/main.html
I have found that it is a good stable replacement for HSQLDB and have used it in 6 different databases with good success. There is an active users group, and some of them report success with very large databases.
