Tired of Waiting: Please Help!

I need advice on a database system which maybe doesn't exist. So if there's anything remotely able to address my wishlist I beg you to let me know.

The database software that I'm looking for should fill a gap in my productivity that is drivinge crazy. Here's the problem:

Check any university humanities, social science or management science handbooks and you will see that the knowledge is presented/depicted in the following ways:

1. Headings followed by text paragraphs.
2. Alpha-numerical tables e.g. a table of countries' GNP.
3. Classification tables e.g. typologies.
4. Diagrams (arrows indicating dynamic relationships between "variables").
5. Graphics (pictures).
6. Lists of characteristics or attributes.
7. Hierarchical data e.g. organograms and outlines.

Is there a piece of database software which will allow me to import text, spreadsheet tables, graphics or whatever?

OR EVEN BETTER: Offer a choice between various input screens in ordere to type in respectively text, tables, lists etc. and add annotations.

The thing should be able to search fast and export data to wordprocessors, HTML, XML, spreadsheets etc.

Please let me know if there's anything matching this?

Thanks
