 * I need to generate page content from db using $wpdb, and everything looks clear
   except one question – what to do with permalinks?
 * I don’t want to create empty page for every element generated from db and fill
   it up, but better to generate every page from database with proper permalink.
   So, my question – how to handle permalinks for such situation?
 * Any advise is appreciated.

 * I don’t understand what you are trying to do. Are you just trying to get the 
   permalink for some of your pages? If so, use [get_permalink()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_permalink).

 * Actually I think the most close solution for what I am looking for is [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Queries#Permalinks_for_Custom_Archives).
 * But there are still open question – what action or filter should I use for my
   db functions?

 * You are going to have to explain more clearly what you are trying to do.

 * I have a catalog like [this](http://www.skneman.ru/v2wp/catalogue/radio/portable/).
   It is in Russian and it is still in development phase, so, do not blame, please.
 * As you can see it is actually not catalog, but a huge single page with great 
   [Indizar](http://www.sebaxtian.com/acerca-de/indizar) plugin parsing.
 * It is ok when number of items is reasonable, but when it grows up, it will become
   very inconvenient to edit those pages.
 * So, what I thinking of is to create few tables, a simple interface in admin control
   panel where operate data, and parse URLs like, e.g., [http://mysite.ru/catalogue/radio/portable/mp330](http://mysite.ru/catalogue/radio/portable/mp330)
   trough some functions, WP filters or actions, and take requested information 
   from DB.
 * I hope that this explanation is a bit better.
