Database driven

[nick]

I am shortly to create an online service which has a high number of records and files. This means that I unfortunately have to create a database driven site. Will this reduce my chances of Search Engine visibility drastically?
I was hoping to have it as little database driven as possible, it will be mostly static HTML but with perhaps a few ASP or PHP features. Hopefully this won't affect it too much??

Thanks,
Nick

Spiders are still having some problems with ?marks in Urls. I know php has a mod_rewrite script that can take them out and make the url a static one. I would do this if possible. Otherwise, Google can crawl dynamic sites okay but they are a little leary as to running the risk of getting caught up in endless loops. This is why spiders shy away from following a url with a question mark in it.
