You should probably consider either firebird if you need a "real" database with locking real transactions and all that, or sqllite if all you need is a nice fast single user database with a sql interface. Postgresql is really not suited to embedded applications. Of course, in 50 years, when embedded applications are running on Star Trek technology, and Postgresql is a quaint old thing, it might make sense, but today, most embedded devices having memory in the hundreds of megabytes designed to have only a few hundred thousand writes to each memory cell, it's just not a good choice. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
