I am yet to install Umbraco as I'm trying to work out if it's the right product for what I need. For all things content management it seems perfect but I have a requirement that I do not know whether will work.
I intend to use the site to manage property rentals. What I would like to do is store property details in SQL and retrieve them based on the URL parameter, for example: http://www.site.com/properties/uk/Devon will return all properties in the database that are located in Devon, UK. Conversely, I would need to be able to generate the link based on the properties that are stored in the database.
I am not looking for an in-depth answer - just a nod to say whether this is possible or a pointer as to how this might be done the Umbraco way. I am making an assumption that I can achieve this using IIS URL rewriting and a standard .net control that will query the database, correct? Is the database add/edit/delete interface something I can build as a control as well?
Database-driven content and URL re-writing

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
