Wikipedia - conversion of in SQL database stored data to HTML

Is there an already available script/tool able to
extract records and generate proper HTML
code out of the data stored in the Wikipedia
SQL data base?
e.g.
 converting all occurences of
  [[xxx|yyy]] to <a href=xxx>yyy</a>
etc.
Or even better a script/tool able to generate
and write to the disk all the HTML files
if given the YYYYMMDDD_cur_table.sql
data, so that the Wikipedia content
becomes available on local computer
without running a server?

By the way:
has someone succeeded in installation of
a local Wikipedia server? As I remember the
problem caused me to fail on this was that
mySQL server was not able to handle a
database larger than 2 GByte
(the english part of current data and
usually the ..._old_table.sql exceed
this size).
