No, there is *not* an a set of people working on "making PostgresQL embeddable"; it has been talked about, but never taken particularly seriously. There's a way to do *a sort of embedding*, but one that specifically ignores the notion of doing this in an in-process manner. You could hide a PostgresQL instance, using a variant port, generally making it pretty hidden away. Initializing, starting, and stopping it could be hidden inside the application. But in no way would this be an embedding as is normally understood, where all that's needful is to include a library and open the right directory. -- select 'cbbrowne' || '@' || 'gmail.com'; http://linuxdatabases.info/info/lisp.html "Bureaucracies interpret communication as damage and route around it" -- Jamie Zawinski
