The fastest way would be to use C. But the reason for using a DB would be. 1. Access to data. You could use PhPMyAdmin or some thing you put together to update the policy so making managing the data easy (possibly so non tickers should make changes). 2. If the data you are getting needs to be retrieved relationally.
How I would set up you web sit is.. MySQL backend with just text fields storing the data. Put some perl/php/C/ruby together to fetch the data. Feed this into some XML. Then feed this to XHTML and use CSS. .NET mite be worth looking at to? Hope this helps a bit?

Hello- I am in the early stages of setting up a website running mysql. The idea is for the user to be able to compare insurance policies and choose the best one. I want to give them the option of choosing several insurance plans and compare them side by side. My question is would it be faster/more efficient to: a) Store policy wording in html format in a mysql table; or b) generate them from a perl script example user chooses plan a and plan b - hits the compare button to see policy wording compared side by side - would it be better to call it from the mysql table or a perl script? I thank you in advance.
