Googling around apparently the transition wasn't quite successful :( https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/279711/firebird-dead/ https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/279711/firebird-dead...

The only "embedded database" option (HSQLDB) requires the JRE. I don't know if this holds true for the "connect to an existing database" options, but I would rather throw together a Python script using SQLite when it reaches that level of complication. (It uses my existing knowledge.)

  > The only "embedded database" option (HSQLDB) requires the JRE Firebase is still available as an experimental option as another embedded database, just confirmed on my installation. Also while I was at it, tested it with Java disabled and HSQLDB predictably did not work, but Firebird did continue to work. Apparently it also opens an pre-existing Firebase odb file even without experimental flag being on. https://ibb.co/jM6k07w https://ibb.co/jM6k07w
