Webalchemy simply takes an HTML page and generates a plsql procedure that would exactly recreate that page. Once you have the plsql procedure that does that page - you can inject any sql you wan't into the procedure.

It is simply a way to get a static file into a procedure so you can add some dynamic content to it.
