How to expose your test database in a java web application? Simple Sqlsheet servlet?

Question

I have a java web application which i'm developing using a local embedded HSQL database. Is there kind of a servlet which I can plug-in into my application and expose it /dbconsole, where I can fire sql statements, inspect tables, fields and table data?

Answer 1

Here's its web console UI rendered by org.h2.server.web.WebServlet:
