coming back to the PostGIS plugins, I think Wroclaw would be also good place
to
merge some of them (e.g. improving PostGis Manager by adding the RT Sql
Layer
capabilities).

To think big, we can refactor the pg_manager creating a new manager which
manages both postgis and spatialite. In this manner we wouldn't have a lot
of
duplicated code for the spatialite_manager and we can easily extend it to
manage
others spatial dbs.

I think the first step is using the QtSql module instead of the psycopg2 one
within
pg_manager. I don't know if there are some limitations in this moment, but I
see
it's on the pg_manager's TODO list.

What's your opinion?
Cheers.
