I think Derby is definitely worth a look, but I think for database 
choices the emphasis should still be HSQLDB for evaluation (single 
user), PostgreSQL / MS SQL / Oracle for production (possibly hundreds of 
concurrent users). I'm not convinced Derby would scale for the latter 
case and in the former case is not as lightweight! (I don't think it can 
be run in memory for instance).
