I think you should first figure out if postgres is suitable as
an embedded database. (depends on what exactly you mean by
an embedded database of course).

Postgres has been designed as a server, and lots of
implementation details might not make sense in an embedded
context. you might be better served by SQLite, or some other
such library.
