title: Relational database w/ images for ios application
body: <p>I am currently developing an iOS application that will need to be able to both upload and download images from a remote database; in addition, it will need to be able to cite and update stats associated with said images - e.g. comments, etc. (That is, i think it will need to be a relational database.)
  Any suggestions on how I might go about this/which frameworks/apis are best to use? it seems that Amazon's s3 service, while it is great for uploading and downloading, would not be as easy to store information along with images that would be easily searched; likewise, it 'parse' seems to be a good service for the backend, but it has the same issues. Please correct me if I am wrong!</p>
