does any one know if their are any issues with storing a database which is
very frequently updated on the storage card ? I know that flash memory has
limited amount of writes but if the os cycles the flash blocks frequently
enough this should not be an issue.

Yes, limited to about 1.000.000 guaranteed cycles or more.
Flash cards utilize error detection/correction and normally
one can safely default flash card reliability to lifetime of computer.

We have seen data integrity issues when storing a database on a
storage card. We don't recommend this configuration anymore.
