Postgres can't be embedded or serverless. Firebird has the embedded

free embedded databases for commercial use.
A lot of Firebird users have been saying this as well, but the
comparison if more for Enterprise use.
Plus if you need a embedded database wouldn't it be better to use one
built specifically for that purpose? i.e. SQLite for example.
Good call on the name limit, I remember running into that when porting
something from MS SQL server to Firebird about 4 years ago.
I will have to check and see if this still applies to version 2.0
Later,
