Hi Luis,
   sorry for the delay with this reply! I've been very busy recently!

Sure.

First, did you already write them or you plan to develop them after setting up 
their wxCode repo?


Let's go with the first one:

> name: wxPgsLib
I understand that "Pgs" is a short form for "Postgres" but I think it's a bit 
cryptic... also the "Lib" part is not strictly necessary (though it doesn't 
harm) as basically 99% of wxCode components are built as libraries...

What about a more comprehensive "wxPostgres"? Or maybe "wxPostgresLib"...

You probably already know about other DB-related wxWidgets-based components:

http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php?compperpage=1000&viewmode=full&browseby=category&section=database&page=1

In particular I see DatabaseLayer already interfaces with Postgres... of course 
if you already wrote the library it makes sense to register the component 
anyway, but if you didn't write it yet, you may want to reconsider doing it 
since there are already libraries for this kind of things... or am I missing 
something?

Last, are you sure that you want to use CVS control?
There's nothing really wrong with CVS, but Subversion is more modern and 
quicker 
to use...

======================================

About the other component:

> name: wxOraLib
just like for the previous component I wonder if it's not better to use 
"wxOracle" or something like that...

Oracle seems not to be supported by existing wx wrappers of database libraries.
So this component indeed looks very interesting.

However I suspect that you probably wrapped Oracle and Postgres DB libs in the 
same interface, isn't it?
If this is the case, wouldn't be better to create a single component and let 
the 
user choose the DB type at runtime?
I'm probably missing something as I'm not very used to databases :)

same comment for previous component: Subversion is usually best :)
