I don't understand why you would want to store an entire static html 
page in the database. All that accomplishes is adding the overhead of 
calling MySQL too.

If you want to serve HTML do just let your webserver serve HTML.

Is there more to the situation that would help myself and others 
understand why you want to do this?
