Complicated setup of CMS for new site.

CMS Made Simple is awesome and the only CMS I will use.

I am looking at building a site with thousands of pages SEO optimized and I would like to build templates and import data from a database yet to be built.
The main navigation menu would have the typical pages like home, about us, contact, and then cities with sub headings under a city name being beaches in that city.
I was thinking of building a Beach template with common content and then importing data which would include:  Name, Address, Type of beach, facilities, capacity of beach, length of beach ….
Also I would like to have each page become a sub domain ex; instead of www.beachreview.com/hotbeach.html  I would like  hotbeach.beachreview.com for each beach in the list.
Any advice or direction is appreciated.
Cheers,
Edmontonabguy

Best practice is to read all the default install content/pages and then read the help for menu manager and how to make external links for sub domains, and play with it a bit, if you have any problems don't hesitate to come back and ask well researched and thoroughly  explained questions...

I guess I should have stated that I would like to add all the data via the database.
I have looked around and have not found information on modifying the database to create pages.
Cheers

I fail to understand your issue with CMSms. Nothing wrong, right ?

It sounds like the OP is looking for information on how to add pages directly in the db, rather than through the standard Admin panel.  I think CMSMS is probably working fine, but he is wanting to do something a little different.
