title: Hibernate single file databases: setup for thin client
body: <p>I'm debeloping a Java Swing application, which persists the information through Hibernate, currently using PostgreSQL. Now, I would like to simplify the database setup on the client and I'm thinking about single file databases. The database I'm using is rather small and simple, so there are no special requirements. I'm only asking for one that is stable and reliable.</p>
  
  <p>What solutions are there available which are compatible with Hibernate? The final application shouldn't have any installation steps such as installing a database server or so. The perfect scenario would be a .zip file that is unzipped and everything is ready to go, like Eclipse does.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
