I've actually done this in the last week, and my knowledge of programming is very basic indeed!
I used Mikes Gmaps tutorials (http://econym.org.uk/gmap/) to create a basic version of what you want, where the lat and long are stored in a simple text file. Later I then went about editing the code to store the values into a database rather than in the text file. The code then needed to be altered some more from mike tutorial so that the gmap would read the markers from the database, this involved generating an xml file from the database, and then reading the markers from the xml. The added bonus to this is that it is possible to just run the xml file and it will produce a fairly nicely laid out table of the markers inputted. Is that the kind of thing you are after? An example of the map I am working on above can be seen here: http://www.zpyder.co.uk/tess/mapping/db4/test.html - By no means is the coding perfect, but it works, and maybe it might help.
