Does postgres have an embedded mode to allow a database to be embedded with Java application without requiring seperate db manager, like the derby database does ?
No, and I think the consensus is that this would be bad.  See:

Thats a shame, I wanted to write junit test for a java program that queried a database, requiring a full database to be available for unit tests is not really an environment I want to have.

Has it occurred to you that testing a DB client when there's no
DB isn't really a very accurate or realistic test?

I am testing the code that extracts information from a read only database. These are UNIT tests so only interested in getting the right results given a particular set of data, anything else is a distraction.
