The discussion comes up occasionally. After some well-reasoned
analysis the conclusion is generally that an embedded postgresql would
keep either none of the advantages of postgresql or would lose most of
the (single-user specific) advantages of an embedded database. Or
both.
In other words, postgresql is a really bad place to start if you want
to make an embedded database. If you search the list archives you
should find the last time this was discussed.
Cheers,
