If you want to generate a few hundred pages quickly from a database, and you're too cheap/broke to buy webmerge then you can use the advanced tools in the free version of netobjects fusion to do this. Not going to go into detail as, frankly, if you can't manage to use fusion then you need to go back to the monkey house and start throwing your faeces at the zookeeper again. But a few hints:
1. Don't do more than around 300 pages at a time, your pc won't cope. (unlike webmerge that can do thousands of pages easily.)
2. Stick to csv files, and clean them up in openoffice or excel first (remove unwanted columns, replace all / characters)

Better still, learn php then you won't have to use this at all.
 


Webmerge is a handy tool to have for generating large database sites quickly.

Uploading 50,000 pages is a real bitch, though.
