Hello all
I need to build an online image database that is searchable, much like a stock image site.
I have no experience with any kind of database except a little Filemaker Pro.
Has anyone built such a site before? If so what did you use? Any tips? Tutorials? I do not need to be spoon fed this stuff, I just need to be pointed in the right direction. Any help would be great.

Image databases are no different from any other so seach for any db resources for language/db of your choice.
You might also consider an alternative to a real database. I believe in embedded metadata and would like to advocate use of exif data in jpeg files for this kind of purposes. You could just dump the files onto the server and let the script do all the work. Scripts can dynamically create new galleries as you add stuff and you can also include search functionality even if you don't have a real database. Databases get corrupted and can really be a pain in the ass to maintain. Exif and php for example could be an easy solution out.
