I am experienced with databases. I have been working on several web-based 
projects with a variety of dbms. I have used the libpq++ (C++-PostgreSQL API) 
and some MySQL APIs in (more private) projects, quite successful.
I do not understand your second question, as english is not my native tongue 
;)

Right, I will sum some things up, soon (including diagrams (I always find 
them helpful for discussion ;))
Unfortunately, I am quite busy this week, so I can not promise to get them to 
you until the 19th/20th this month.
