No it's not! If these files are data files, then there is no reason to put them into realtional database, since they are clearly a closed relation. If these files are HTML files, or HTML snippets which follow some regular format, then they should be data files and translated to HTML in some way, using a template. If you're going to put them into anything, put them into a Berkeley DB file. PHP and Perl will access this just as easy. No need for a wolloping great RDB here.
