Agree with previous poster in that "Yes, this is a very good match for a RDBMS". As you are just getting started with the DB stuff, I would start with SQLite which has some real advantages for this kind of a project: - DB is a single file
- Has a good DBD module with reasonable documentation
- It provides all the functionality you are asking for without having to get into a lot of DB admin like you might with heavier DB's like mysql, postgreql etc....
The online docs are not bad
I would do is look for existing DB implementations (google search) as the album app is commonly used as an example for simple DB development. And finally, I would delve into basic DB design by checking out some books like This one.
Hope that is helpful and encouraging...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
