Does postgres have an embedded mode to allow a database to be embedded

No, and I think the consensus is that this would be bad. See:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/FAQ#Can_PostgreSQL_be_embedded.3F
Thats a shame, I wanted to write junit test for a java program that
queried a database, requiring a full database to be available for unit
tests is not really an environment I want to have.
Has it occurred to you that testing a DB client when there's no
DB isn't really a very accurate or realistic test?
I am testing the code that extracts information from a read only
database. These are UNIT tests so only interested in getting the right
results given a particular set of data, anything else is a distraction.
