It is not possible to insert pages directly into the database, but there are many tools which can be used to automatically load pages into the database via the front end.
For example, this is what I usually use:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pagefromfile.py
from the framework called "pywikipediabot"
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot
You do not need python skills to be able to run that script, and I can give you more detailed instructions if you want to go down this path.

There is also an internal way to do so, if you're talking about a local wiki that you have shell access to, and not a live WMF wiki, instructions are here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps#importDump.php
