One can connect to an the Embedded HSQL DB locally using DBVisualizer (http://www.1060.org/forum/topic/323/1).

But what if you want to connect to an instance deployed to a remote server? How can you do this using a tool such as Toad or DBVisualizer?

If this is not possible, how do you setup the database (e.g. execute data definition language) or manage those instances remotely deployed?

Greetings,

HSQLDB comes with a native tool to manage the database

java -cp ../hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar org.hsqldb.util.SqlTool

With that tool you locally manage the HSQLDB database.

However, "strictly" answering your question, since the database is embedded (and thus not running as a server, you cannot manage it through a remote connection as far as I know.
