Hi, all. I'm building a Django app against a legacy HSQLDB database
(the existing user interface is built in OpenOffice Base). Is there a
way to use HSQLDB with Django? Alternatively, does anyone know if
there's a way to easily alter the existing database to any of the
existing Django/SQL interfaces?

Django has been designed to be database agnostic, so in theory, it can adapt to any SQL database. However, you need to have a  backend that services that database. For example, Django doesn't ship with support for MSSQL or Firebird, but there are external libraries that support those databases.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any existing project to build a HSQLDB backend for Django.
