[Building Sakai] I am going to say this really quietly and hope no one hears me....

What a coincidence! This just came up earlier today!

I would say we switch to H2:
http://www.h2database.com/html/main.html

It's what pretty much everyone else uses AND it has a mysql
compatibility mode where you can use mysql specific DDL and SQL. It's
not 100% but for demoing and unit testing it will do fine.

I could change my shell scripts to do auto-setup of MySql and just tell folks to instal MySql.  Frankly any developer testing on HSQL is a waste of time.  Things like Spring JDBC and Hibernate simply do not care *AT ALL* about HSQL 1.
