Hi Nick, I don't think this would help for three reasons:
1. I'm already planning to run unit tests against a separate (but identical) database than production, so there's no danger of wiping out the production database. 2. I need to create a new temporary schema per test, and run 4-10 of tests per second. I'm guessing this wouldn't perform well using "pg_ctl". 3. And finally, I'd like to configure all this through JDBC (pure Java). "pg_ctl" would require me to interact with native code.
