You don't necessarily put the who HTML page into the
database, you only put
the necessary HTML tags in with it.
So maybe you have something like this:
tblProduct
-------
title
picture
description
"title" would get outputted maybe into an <h1> block on
your 'master' page.
The "picture" a link that is put into an <img> tag.
"description" would be the main text with some tags, as
needed... maybe
like:
<p>The <strong>XYZ Widgets</strong> are
made from durable cat hair.</p>
See??
