I was working in eclipse on university project. We were required to use hsqldb, and while trying to start it up I get an error stating the address is in use.

I’m not really sure how to fix this. I googled it but all related topics I could find were about a specific programs, so that was a dead end. Suggestions?

Answer 1

You can use a different port for the server by adding a --port nnnn commmand line argument. The same port must be used on the client, for example jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:1234/SEPM1.

See the Guide: http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0/guide/listeners-chapt.html
