Comment on What's new in PostgreSQL 9.0 - a User's Perspective parent

Comments

Then again, there's no reason why an embedded database can't launch multiple subprocesses, or talk to itself via a socket for that matter. The same goes for the storage SQLite uses one file, but an embedded PostgreSQL allocating one opaque directory would be fine.

The important part is that you'd be able to easily statically link to it and handle permissions on a by-file basis, instead of PostgreSQL's current permission model. For all intents and purposes it'd be a larger SQLite replacement then.
