HSQLDB read only from Open Office via JDBC

Tried to open an existing hsqldb 1.8.x database from Open Office 2.0 using JDBC. I was unable to edit any of the tables. Turns out this is a known bug documented here:

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=55029

The suggested workaround did fix the problem. Just add the following to the end of the JDBC connection url (don't forget the semicolon at the start):

;default_schema=true

You would think they would have better support for HSQLDB, since it is their internal database format, but I guess not.
