Thread: embed postgres

Hi, I am looking to embed postgres into an application on windows. I am fine 
with it being a separate service. Here is what I am looking to do. Any help 
would be greatly appreciated.

1) Install postgres silently. Libs (dll) and data files.  a) What are the minimum files dll.  b) What .conf should I
editto state where the postgres home is located?
 
2) Start postgres when the app starts.
3) Stop postgres when the app stops.
4) Minimize the amount of postgres processes.

What you're looking for is silent installation [1].

pg_ctl?

You can't. It's by design.
