| 447 | +<P>PostgreSQL is designed as a client/server architecture, which |
| 448 | + requires separate processes for each client and server, and various |
| 449 | + helper processes. Many embedded architectures can support such |
| 450 | + requirements. However, if your embedded architecture requires the |
| 451 | + database server to run inside the application process, Postgres cannot |
| 452 | + be used and a lighter-weight database solution should be selected.</P> |
