"Embedded server
     While PostgreSQL clients runs fine in limited-resource 
environments, the server requires multiple processes and a stable pool 
of resources to run reliably and efficiently. Stripping down the 
PostgreSQL server to run in the same process address space as the client 
application would add too much complexity and failure cases. Besides, 
there are several very mature embedded SQL databases already available. "
