Yes, Gallery 2 needs a database, MySql, Postgres or Oracle

http://www.mysql.com/
http://www.postgresql.org/

both are free.
if you need help installing the database, please refer to google or mysql/postgresql forums. be sure, all questions you'll have have been asked and answered before a hundred times by other people.

you'll need to install the database management software (mysql or postgresql or another choice), create a database user and finally a G2 database in this database management software. you will not have to setup the tables by hand. Just fill in the database server, database name, database user and pw in the G2 installer, and it will do the rest for you.
