The last time I tried to run a non-trivial query (involving a join) from
Access against PostgreSQL, the result was a never-ending cursor
animation. It seems that Access fetches *all* records from the database
and runs the query locally.

"Embedding" databases anywhere is imho nonsense. Database *content* can
imho be passed around between users in a pretty fool-proof way as a
zipped SQL dump, if required.
