Could you explain this a little more. Will the database hold the actual pages in full as text? Or will it just locations of pages? Or will the database be generating the pages on the fly? If you are going with a publishing type setup, you might want to look at illustra for running your system and holding your pages. If you are going to run the site as pages only from the database, then you could use oracle, or something else like msql.
