If you're not concerned with providing banner display and click statistics then I think you could do it without a database. I just provide it as a service to my members and to help me learn more about PHP and mySQL.

I'm not keen on the auto-change of banners however, a slow loading page could mean a banner does not get displayed because it has timed out before the page is loaded. Also, with some banners it takes a bit of time to digest what the banner is about.

I don't think categories are necessary unless you are trying to target certain types of banners to certain types of sites. This will be provided as free service, no need to make it more complicated than necessary.

I think you should also set a limit on the file size of the banners, this way people with dial-up connections will also see the banners.

Like I told BuffaloHELP before, I'd rather it'd be a button exchange... I still think banners are too cumbersome. I don't want to put big things in my website. It'll have layout issues. Of course, it's only my opinion. I don't know what other people think about button exchanges. I like the idea, and I'd consider signing up if it weren't using banners. Though generally, I'm more interested in linking up with related sites. I'm also happy with my search engine rankings, so I don't have much purpose, really. But still, I'd support this all the way if it weren't using banners.

Edit:
Wait, so I've been thinking... There's a small size, right? So that means the people displaying the banners can choose what size they want it to be, right? I'm not far off on agreeing on this. Does this have to be displayed on all pages, by the way? Or can you put it in your links page?

I really think that this is a good idea for a number of reasons. The first reason is that I do not really like all those banner exchange sites out there they seem like spyware to me. If I am going to have a banner exchange I rather have banners on my site linking to the sites of people who contribute on Trap17 rather than complete strangers. Not only that but that will insure the ads people see are in agreement with Trap17's TOS because I really would not like to link to something that is not.
