I followed those instructions and embedded is working for me.
Milan Babuskov, the author of that paper, also has a program that uses
the embedded server.

I think that the problem is in the way you connect to the database. For
embedded you must use local access, not localhost. It might change with
your database access software, but usually you pass an empty string as
the server name.
