Embedding PostgreSQL in app?

I couldn't find a more appropriate list for this, so I hope you will indulge me (or point me to the right list).

I would like to build an application that uses a back-end database (I don't think SQLite will suffice for the transaction volume), and I was planning on PostgreSQL. Is there standard conventional wisdom on doing this?

Looking around I've seen a couple of approaches including:

(1) Tell your customers to first install PostgreSQL. These seems like a burden for the customer and not a very Mac-like approach.

(2) Embed PostgreSQL into the application bundle. (It looks like Apple's Server.app and Postgres.app went this route). I'm not sure how kosher this is or if it will get through the Mac App Store approval process.

Any recommendations or pointers?

Thanks,

Todd
