Bypass administrative permissions restriction on windows?
I am trying to use Postgres as a embedded db from inside a Java Desktop
application. I am trying to work our how to do the minimal install
manually and start/stop the database from Java. I have come across the
issue of Postgres not running as a user with administrative permissions.
The solution to this is to create new user and give them access to the
data directory which is ugly for a desktop application.
Is there a way of bypassing the "no administrative permissions"
requirement for a single user install on windows?
Does Postgres 8 support Windows 98/ME. ? If so how does it work with
users there?
Is there a way of starting postgres in process as a DLL?
Many Thanks

No, not unless you want to patch the source.

No, postgresql requires an NT4 or better.

No.
