It's one approach. All it really gains you is keeping you from
duplicating functionality that's already built in to mod_include,
including the parser and the pre-defined SSI tags. But it's not the
easiest approach and might not be the most appropriate in this case,
especially given the below:

You can if you write the interface for it. =-)
Consider using PHP. It's got drivers for lots of DB's built in, and
instead of defining custom tags, you can just have a library of
pre-defined functions called banner(), shop(), etc. Stick a call to the
appropriate function in a PHP tag, and the function dumps out the
necessary HTML. That's way easier to code and maintain and probably a
better match for what you're trying to do.
