No Berkeley DB is unsuitable if you need a fully
flegded SQL Relational database, Berkeley DB is
a level below that one, one of the reasons why I dont like
that one as a backend to Subversion.
Checked the arguments again, it was neither Sun (although they might be 
happy) nor anything else except, that they needed a solution which runs
on all supported platforms, and given the state of the other DBs HSQL 
was as it seems the only choice.
HSQL is a nice DB not the best out there, but definitely not the worst 
either.
