PDB records are really just blobs, no default structure at all. You may
store the photos, and other metadata in the PDB, e.g. one PDB record per
image.

I'm not familiar with the JPilot plugin, but I've designed and developed
conduits for Palm SyncManager using JSync. AAMOF, I have an application
I'm currently finishing that's close to what you're trying to do :) The
handheld app runs on top of SuperWaba, the conduit on top of JSync, and
the web application on top of a J2EE server.
stay cool.
