Hi,

I am looking into using PostgreSQL as a database service in a desktop application since it's one of the support local database systems by DataObjects.net and has more features and higher limitations than SQL server express. I prefer a database versus a traditional binary data file, but I ran into some limitations when using either SQLite or SQL CE 3.5. (Support, file lize limitations, no batch processing support, ...)

I know that some applications (Poker Tracker 3 is the first one that comes to my mind) install PostgreSQL during their installation process too and setup the initial database. I sort of figured out how to do this, but I don't know how to deal with an already existing installation during setup. What if the user doesn't now the master server password. As far as I understand this means I cannot continue the installation process and create my databases.

Is there somewhere a guide to include and configure PostgreSQL as part of a desktop application? More precisely installation and configuration steps that clarify my question?
