I need an online database for ASP.net server

[hurtstotalktoyou]

Hey, all. I'd like to set up a database for a music site. The basic idea is to have a discography, song lists and lyrics pages all tied together with links on every album and song title. I thought about maybe using a wiki, and so I investigated OpenWiki, but I haven't the faintest clue how to go about installing it. And I just plum can't find any such non-wiki databases.

My service provider uses Microsoft, and so an ASP.net database would be required (no PHP). I've installed forum software before, so I have some idea of how this might work. Unfortunately, I still need lots of help.

Anyone have some spare time to help me out?

Thanks in advance!

databases are completely independent of the server side scripting language. If your host is Microsoft based, they don't provide your with SQL Server databases as part of your plan?

Well, when I said "database" I meant a database of lyrics and songs and such, not a Microsoft database. My web space account does feature databases--MS Access, I believe.

Lyrics pages technically violate songwriter copyrights, so you'll probably be lawyered at some point if you include them.

Have you looked at www.AllMusic.com ? It's going to be hard to compete with them.

I'm good on the legal end of things. As for competition, the website I help run is already established as the quintessential site for the artist it promotes. I currently have the lyrics in collapsable javascript tables, but I want to make it so that every title is linked to separate pages, which are in turned linked to the discography, and so on.
