@Ronal : thanks, resetting back to unconfirmed.

The general functioning of embedded hsqldb in an ODB file is that any data
changes not flushed to the hsqldb instance will potentially be lost if the
connection is lost. As the ODB file only loads some of the data from the
recordset into RAM, and the newly modified data forms part of that volatile
memory space, any connection drop or cut out will potentially lead to data
loss. Some of that might be recoverable from a lock file (LCK) that LO creates
when opening an ODB file with embedded hsqldb database. However, the data in
the lock file may or may not be exploitable, and in theory will disappear if
the ODB file is closed cleanly. Any data that was transiting in the network
layer will likely equally be lost if you are acessing the file over a network.
