5 * HSQL is a very simple database to configure as you don't need to install nor to start it before being able to use it. It comes as a single JAR file named <tt>hsqldb*.jar</tt>. If your XWiki WAR doesn't have it in <tt>WEB-INF/lib</tt> you'll need to download it and copy it there. You can download it from the [HSQLDB web site>http://www.hsqldb.org/] or directly from the [Maven Central Repository>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/hsqldb/hsqldb/].
6 * Once this is done, you need to tell XWiki to use HSQL and to tell it where the database files will be created. To do this, edit the <tt>WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml</tt> file where you have expanded the XWiki WAR file and replace the matching properties with the following ones:

8 {code}
9 <property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:file:[DATABASE_LOCATION];shutdown=true</property>
10 <property name="connection.username">sa</property>
11 <property name="connection.password"></property>
12 <property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
13 <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>
14 {code}
15
16 where <tt>\[DATABASE_LOCATION\]</tt> is where you wish to put the HSQL database. For example <tt>/apps/xwiki-database/xwiki</tt>.
