Hello everybody,
i plan a platform independent software package to visualize some data (written in java). as backend i would like to use a postgresql database via JDBC.
i would like to incorporate the postgresql database in my package in such a way, that i have a 'standalone' solution, as many end users don't like to have to install an postgresql server first.
the standalone program should be installable locally (without root access), each userinstance of the program would use its own, internal postgresql database server which would get started with the program.
please don't blame me, I come from linux's modular approach. but my hunch is, that most end users prefer installing 200 Mb extra using one click instead of working through an installation manual.
what do you think? is this possible? how to start? is there some good documentation related to this?
thanks a lot
alex
