Google and Bing does not bother whether your site is fetching data from a database or it is a HTML page.

Simply make a sitemap of your site and you are ready to go. Popular CMS like Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal fetch data from MySql database and still these CMS consider very good for SEO .

All you need is a sitemap.

See here to know what Google says about sitemap.

If we convert Database contents into html pages and upload them all to our website in a single stroke, will there be any problem with popular search engines like google and yahoo?


Assuming each of the pages is unique and has quality content, then no. You won't have any "problems" with the engines but Google and Bing may not be able to find all of the pages unless you also publish a sitemap that directs the spider to the URLs. Even if you get them to spider the contents, if the pages are not considered sufficiently different from each other or if Google determines them to be low-quality and search engine spambait then you may suffer some adverse consequences.
