I am thinking about writing a desktop application in Java. First I
wanted to use SQLite and truecrypt. (Truecrypt because it will be
installed on an USB stick.) I was thinking about SQLite, because the
data can be accessed with other languages also.

Then I found out that Derby has the possibility to encrypt the
database. That would remove the necessity for truecrypt. I would lose
the (easy) way to access the information with other languages, but the
simplifying made this a good idea.

Now I saw two other Java DB's: H2 and HSQLDB. It is said that the
performance of Derby is bad and that H2 would be a far better
solution. What are the pro's and the cons of the different
possibilities?
