My ex-coworker Ignas came up with a Makefile snippet that sets up a local PostgreSQL sandbox inside the working tree: https://gist.github.com/Ignas/1676353 It's incredibly handy for Jenkins: you can clone jobs as you like without having to manually assign database names to avoid conflicts from jobs running simultaneously. All you have to do is use the Port Allocator Plugin to set unique PGPORTs for the jobs. I also like that I can git clone a project and run 'make test' without having to worry about setting up PostgreSQL databases. It probably only works on Debian/Ubuntu, and it requires that you have PostgreSQL installed, but it doesn't need a system-wide PostgreSQL to be running.
