It is a shame that postgres is not available as an embedded server unlike mysql database server which comes in the form of a dll.
However with mysql licence I would have to pay $10,000 if I wish to include it in mysql as an embedded server in my app. mysql database server is also a TCP/IP socket server whether embedded or otherwise. --- "Joshua D.
