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.
Weare 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
theDerby network server setup.
