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.

The problem is that the library I want to use does not support SQLite as
a database provider and SQL CE is limited to a database file of 4GB and
lacks several interesting SQL features, hence why I was interested in
using PostgreSQL.
