I would definitely go for a Lingo solution. People don't realise that Director itself is effectively a Database system, the Cast is a data container and as I'm concerned ...a bloody fast one.
Making a simple database engine in Lingo is not too difficult and it's a lovely challenge. Just abuse Directors fast access to cast members data...just make sure to break things down as much as you can.

I have made several data banks with lingo and have been very happy with it. You will have to write all the code on your own, so V12 may be much better for you (it has a behavior library). Valentina is overkill (steeper learning curve) unless you are going to do more and more data banks in the future. Also, I'm not sure if V12 supports images in data containers but Valentina does. There is also an ARCA xtra or something.
