Yes it is. Take a look at hyperic, they do that. Note that if you are gonna include a version of postgresql with your application, you should make it an option, as sometimes folks would rather use their one big pgsql server for such things than having yet another odd copy running around. Hyperic makes it very easy to switch from using their pgsql to your own. They install their copy on port 9432 instead of 5432, and all you have to do it edit the jdbc connect line to point at your own pg server and create a db and user to match hyperic's and you're done. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
