Using TimesTen for JUnit tests

Question

I want to switch from using HSQL (in memory) to TimesTen in my Unit tests. Is there a simple setup for TimesTen when used for this purpose?
For example, for HSQL, all I have to do is include the hsql.jar as a dependency in my project, then include the following line in my JUnit test:
DataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver",
"jdbc:hsqldb:target/test-classes/com/project/path/test/schema", user, pw);
schema is a reference to the schema.script that includes the DDL for all the tables that I need to create in memory.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

From what little I know about it TimesTen is not an in-memory database, it is a caching architecture. Therefore I would expect the set-up to be different - the TimesTen stuff should be set up once ever[], like the schema of a regular database, rather than everytime you run your unit tests.
I think you need to sit down with the TimesTen documentation and figure out how you are going to use the product. If you are just looking for a quick DB to use in unit tests I think you may well want to keep using HSQL.
