best paractice example page creation php / mysql

Hi, One of the sections in the site I'm developing is a training section. Within this section there are sub sections which each need the option of having multiple examples added. Each example will be made up of 2 sections a UL list and a 2 column table with a title and intro as well. The way I was thinking of doing this was to have 3 tables: training_subsections training_list_items training_table_items Then once a training sub section has been added into the system they can then add example pages. With this current setup I was thinking I'd ask the user how many list items and how many table items they want for this item (I will add the option to add more at a later date if nessecary) and then build the form on the fly from these 2 figures. My problem is, is it a 'reccomended' way of doing things to query the db multiple times for each new list_item and table_item in one go ??? I could just have an examples table with say 10 list_item columns and 10 x 2 table columns but that seems like a short cut really and leaves no room for scaleability. Any thoughts ??
