I'm working on something right now where each page is built from the DB. What I wanted originally was one index page that could handle a few page variations (different block layouts), a page id is passed to it and the page is built from a bunch of possible blocks.
If you want a new page, you put in the DB the combination you want and a new page exists for you to use. Pages are in a parent child relationship, so all pages know their place, and rightly so :O) There is also a flash version of the site and the same method could be applied to that as well, in fact this maybe faster as a complete blueprint for all the pages could be passed at the beginning and so the need to look to the DB for the layout of a page is done only once. This idea came about because of a problem we had with a site where some pages couldn't be easily uniquely identified. It also has benefits for navigation and breadcrumb trails. Unfortunately I've had to modify my idea to fit in with other peoples ideas about the way a site should be built, but such is life. Sorry for the waffle.
