Hi to all, I am using cardano-db-sync with cardano-wallet, cardano-node and ogmios_1 and of course postgres on one other project but there I am using just cardano-db-sync. Is this the same? Can I use the same db? Thank you

Here's a full doc on what the components are.

https://docs.cardano.org/explore-cardano/cardano-architecture/about-db-sync-and-its-components

cardano-db – defines common data types and functions used by any application that needs to interact with the database from Haskell. In particular, it defines the database schema. cardano-db-tool – a tool used to manage cardano-db-sync databases (create, run, validate and analyze migrations). cardano-db-sync – acts as a Cardano node, following the chain and inserting data from the chain into a PostgreSQL database. cardano-db-sync-extended – a relatively simple extension to cardano-db-sync, which maintains an extra table containing epoch data. db-sync-node – designed to work with a locally running Cardano Node to store data in the PostgreSQL database.

Then you have this library that you've opened an issue on, cardano-graphql which just converts cardano-db-sync into a GraphQL endpoint.
