Hi Tim, Take this advice with a grain of salt, since I'm a relative newbie at On-Rev and access to databases.
Recently, I've been exploring RevIgniter by Ralf Bitter. In the RevIgniter documentation, he has a tutorial on using the RevIgniter JQuery Library for Ajax interaction on a website. He also has good documentation on the RevIgniter Database Library. With this guidance, I've been able to include several auto-updating text boxes on a webpage that load information to my webpage from a mySQL table on my On-Rev account. Ralf Bitter does address security issues in the documentation. I am still struggling with using drop-down buttons to access database data. Also, I've not tried to upload pictures, which you may need for a catalog. This approach does involve a learning curve to be able to use RevIgniter but the documentation is very good. I am using Coda with a LiveCoda-HTML mode posted 12Oct2011 on the Users Forums by TheCore. In the preferences for Coda, I then use TextMate as the primary editor for .lc and .rev files; Ralf Bitter has a TextMate bundle for RevIgniter on the website. Hope this helps.
