<pondering> You know.....I don't know if what you want is possible. Moreover, the question to answer is "should we be doing it that way?"
I can see how one might use a table or few to hold site text (for i18n or whatever), but whatever you grab should *NOT* be code. I can think at least ten ways to get around mixing your presentation layer AND bus. logic layer into the data layer (God, what a kluge!!! I haven't seen that since my delve in Internet Banking (ASP based) a few years back) If you have to recompile after a db pull, then you should consider moving to ASP with its <ever-so-friendly> Execute command. For examples of how to do this, take a look at the "I love you" virus. Remember that one? I managed to get a copy before the exchange admins deleted it from existence. Let me know if you want a copy (although I can't imagine why).
