No, that isn't something you can do with PostgreSQL. If you
honest-to-goodness *do* need to have a database engine embedded (via
linking in the whole engine) into your application, then SQLite is
probably one of the better options out there.

There hasn't been terribly much interest in making PostgreSQL more
fragile, which would be the concommittant effect of making it
"embeddable like SQLite"...
