"Embedded server
While PostgreSQL clients runs fine in limited-resource
environments, the server requires multiple processes and a stable pool
of resources to run reliably and efficiently. Stripping down the
PostgreSQL server to run in the same process address space as the client
application would add too much complexity and failure cases. Besides,
there are several very mature embedded SQL databases already available. "
