Well, this is not for what postgres was designed for.
For embedded systems you are looking for databases that are optimised
for running completely in memory. Also a SQL engine is maybe not well
suited for embedded devices.
Better would be databases like Berley DB or GDBM. They are though not
comparable to RDBMS like postgres, etc...
