And all the possible mistakes explained thoroughly. What I want of an exercise database is detailed information on how to do the exercises right so I would use proper muscles and prevent injury.

Exrx.net is still the grail, but recently someone created Musclewiki.

Definitely a good thing to include in these databases. If you have a regular gym membership too, they usually offer a free personal training class. Using this to just ask how to use proper form on exercises is a great way to learn a bunch. My gym offers 2 free classes and I basically got full workouts with explanations on how to do everything from the trainer.
This seemed a reasonable way to make sure decisions are made by competent people rather than the crowd. But today this seems becoming a scam.
