iView MediaPro is a photo database I've been working with on and off for a couple of years. It works pretty well... it's reasonably fast (much less 'beachball' than iPhoto) and seems to be built for heavy-duty use. With 50,000 pix, it works rather better than iPhoto which holds about 14,000 pix at the moment (full version is $199 vs. iPhoto 'free' with a Mac).
I'm thinking of switching full time... anybody have experience with it or another full featured photo db? I like that MediaPro lets you keep the pix in your own folder structure. One curious thing, if you drop an iPhoto library on MediaPro, it catalogs it quickly, thumbs and all. If you choose 'Import' instead it catalogs slowly. I'm guessing it's picking up metadata and leaving the thumbs out as separate source files...
