[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

That means either that your database connection is misconfigured, or the database is corrupt in some way.

As Jonas says, we'll need to know what you've installed, but there's a good chance that your HSQL database is broken.

[Jonas Andersson]

Some more history on the setup would be useful. Did you just install it (seeing it is referring to HSQL) or was the instance cloned from a current production?
