Automatically connect to a DB in a swing application

Question

Hello,

I m working on a single user swing application that access an hsqldb database. How can i Automatically run the DB server when a user run the application.?

for example, after i finish development i will put the application into an exe file.

If the exe file is distributed to multiple users. How can the DB server run and the DB be created when the user run the exe file?

Thanks

dumb question: why not just use HSQLDB in an embedded manner, instead of a client-server? (in fact, before reading your Q I didn't realize it could be made to run in client-server mode) If you're not sharing anything, just accessing a persistence layer, it should be straightforward.
