I am planning to move my business on the web soon. I need to access some kind of database from my site (soon to be created). I have created my HTML pages myself and like to write code to connect to a database.
My question is: what kind of database wwould fullfil my requirementsand where I can learn best (fast and simple) to do that.

I am in real state and my site will have 200- 700+ customers that list their homes with several pictures on them (I list it for them). I need the ability to update, add, remove.. info from database and the ability to search based on few criteria. Your help will greatly be appreciated. I am not sure what other info. I can provide right now. I have called some designers and found out they are very expensive($2,000 to 3,000) to just incorporate Database into my HTML pages, which I can not afford right now, so if I can I like to do it myself. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
:)

you my friend, need the power of the PHP scripting language and the mySQL databse! they are both free and are offerned by most serious hosting companies. you may consider buying this book http://www.sitepoint.com/books/ (ive never read it so i don't know what its worth) but it migt have alot of redundant chapters if you don't want something to complicated. also look here: www.webmonkey.com they have a nice start tutorial for mysql and php.
