Dunno about CE, but this is also trivial using SQLite.

But also, given your needs, I wonder pretty seriously whether Postgres
is the right thing for your application.  It sounds like this is
always single-user with no contention.  Postgres is a bad fit for
that.  Use SQLite or one of the other things that target embedded use.
