Don't use HSQLDB!
Use MySQL.
Version 5.0 is here:
http://www.mysql.com
Don't forget check 'UTF-8' when run 'MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard' in Windows!
If use Linux/Unix, add the following 2 lines to /etc/my.cnf :
[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8
........
[mysqld]
default-character-set=utf8
:!:
or indicate this when will create
jforum database (as root!):
CREATE DATABASE jforum DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8;
don't forget create
jforum's user:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON jforum.* TO 'jforum_owner'@'localhost'
-> IDENTIFIED BY 'password_here' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Good luck! 8)
