Are you sure all that is the template0/1 databases? With WAL segments taking 16 Megs by default, that may be half of it. If you're looking for a better choice for imbedding, look at firebird. http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird/ It's got a much smaller footprint and doesn't require as much regular daily maintenance as Postgresql does. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
