How to use Oracle SQLdeveloper with HSQL / JDBC Hypersonic DB Driver

Question

I would like to use Oracle SQLdeveloper to render HSQLDB tables. Instructions on how to use it with MySQL can be found at https://web.archive.org/web/1/http://blogs.techrepublic%2ecom%2ecom/programming-and-development/?p=564 . .. and I know that Oracle points to where to load all the JDBC drivers.

This worked with MySQL, however, including the JAR file from HSQLDB (here: hsqldb-1.8.0.10.jar) did not create a new tab (as is the case with MySQL).

Is there a way to “convince” SQLdeveloper that works with HSQLDB and JDBC? FYI, I also use Squirrel, but working with it is not as convenient as with SQLdeveloper.

I searched the same, then found this:

Thus, basically, Oracle does not support it, and you cannot add a new TAB yourself, even if you have a JDBC driver.

You can try another tool like ExecuteQuery (executequery dot org)
