SQLite vs HSQLDB

Question

What are the main differences between SQLite and HSQLDB? There are lots of applications using both of them, but I don't really see any major difference.

Answer 1

SQLite is implemented in C, HSQL is implemented in Java.

It should be more seamless and easy to integrate SQLite with an application project written in C or C++, whereas I would expect the HSQL technology is easier to integrate with a project written in Java.

No doubt there are numerous other more subtle differences between these two embedded databases, but the above is the most prominent difference.
