[Solved] Base's HSQLDB database

[Devlei]

I am new to Base, but see that when creating a new database it is an embedded database using the HSQL database engine. How do I connect to a HSQLDB database (that was created with HSQLDB Manager) from Base? Alternatively, how does Base store it's database cause I can't seem to find it to open it with HSQLDB Manager?

You needs to add under Tools>Options>Java>Classes the hsqldb.jar from your OOo installation \...\Basis\Programs\classes\, to make external connection.
You can not reach OOo Base files from external database tools, without OOo running.
