FWIW, GRASS 6.1 supports SQLite, DBF (default), MySQL, PostgreSQL,
others (eg Oracle) via ODBC for vector attribute tables (eg waypoints).

ah, ok, you want to have backdrop images + georeferencing stored in a
DB. I was thinking about the waypoint list.
The most popular model for georeferenced images is the GeoTIFF, which
generally specifies the coordinates of the four corners of the image.
