Re: Embedding Postgres in Java Application

You might also consider Derby (formerly Cloudscape), which IBM
contributed via open source.

I've found Hibernate an excellent tool for development.
It has great support for postgresql and hypersonic; it is developing
support for derby.
Hibernate is an object - relational mapping tool.  You write database
calls in java using "object oriented" calls without worrying about the
underlying database.
