It is not possible to insert pages directly into the database, but
there are many tools which can be used to automatically load pages
into the database via the front end.

For example, this is what I usually use:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pagefromfile.py

from the framework called pywikipediabot

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot

You do not need python skills to be able to run that script, and I can
give you more detailed instructions if you want to go down this path.
