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.
Well if you want to test the database, you will need a full database.
But you can easily setup and start a Postgres server through a batch
file/shell script. I have a small batch file that simply uses the binary
ZIP distribution to run initdb and create the initial databases. We are
using this to bundle Postgres e.g. with a Tomcat web application.
You don't really need to run an installer and/or create registry entries
(for windows). This would then resemble more the Derby network server
setup.

Of course you can always use Derby for testing the Postgres later. I have
found HSQLDB to be closer to Postgres than Derby is. I do seem to recall the
Netbeans group recommends using sever mode during development then switch to
imbedded for distribution. I have done it both ways with equal success and
similar efforts.
