pg-embedded is not affected by the discovered xz supply chain attack! All releases of pg-embedded have shipped with xz 1.9 or earlier, which predates the attack. It was never shipped with a version that contains potentially compromising commits.

Embedded Postgres for Java

Start a PostgreSQL server for unit tests or local development.

Please check out the full documentation site!

• PostgreSQL version 11+ (see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/ for all supported versions of PostgreSQL).
• Binaries loaded from Maven Central (using the Zonky embedded Postgres Binaries) or locally installed.
• Multiple Database servers
• Multiple databases on a single database server
• Flyway support for Database preparation

Manage a PostgreSQL server

try (EmbeddedPostgres pg = EmbeddedPostgres.defaultInstance();
        Connection c = pg.createDefaultDataSource().getConnection();
        Statement s = c.createStatement()) {
    try (ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("SELECT 1")) {
        assertTrue(rs.next());
        assertEquals(1, rs.getInt(1));
        assertFalse(rs.next());
    }
}

Manage Databases

try (DatabaseManager manager = DatabaseManager.multiDatabases()
        .withInstancePreparer(EmbeddedPostgres.Builder::withDefaults)
        .build()
        .start();
        Connection c = manager.getDatabaseInfo().asDataSource().getConnection();
        Statement s = c.createStatement()) {
    try (ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("SELECT 1")) {
        assertTrue(rs.next());
        assertEquals(1, rs.getInt(1));
        assertFalse(rs.next());
    }
}

Unit Tests with JUnit 5

@RegisterExtension
public static EmbeddedPgExtension pg = MultiDatabaseBuilder.instanceWithDefaults().build();

@Test
public void simpleTest() throws SQLException {
    try (Connection c = pg.createDataSource().getConnection();
            Statement s = c.createStatement()) {
        try (ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("SELECT 1")) {
            assertTrue(rs.next();
            assertEquals(1, return rs.getInt(1));
        }
    }
}
