I have a project that I am working on that requires me to be able to display an HTML file stored in a SQLite database in a uiwebview. I know how to display a local file stored in the main bundle, but I just can't figure out how to get these files stored in the SQLite database to display in the uiwebview. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Sample project or tutorial is great! Thanks in advance!

ADDED INFO I thought I would attach this link to help in understanding what I'm trying to do. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdblog.com.au%2Fiphone-development-tutorials%2Fiphone-sdk-tutorial-reading-data-from-a-sqlite-database%2F&rct=j&q=sqlite%20animals%20tutorial%20iphone&ei=41eIT-79L9H-2QW50tXaCQ&usg=AFQjCNGqongc81oHHa3WGFTctkBIiduCvA in the linked tutorial I have dropped the image view since I don't need it for my purposes, and I have replaced the data in the database to be the contents of an html file. In the tutorial it displays the text in a textview and I want to change it to display in a uiwebview. I want this to keep formatting and a few other reasons. Thanks to those who have posted. If anyone can help me get this it would be great!! Thanks in advance!

webView loadHTMLString:baseURL: (I assume it is just stored as a string....if you have any images, you will need to set your base directory accordingly)

  [WebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"html"]isDirectory:NO]]];

this code displays "test.html" which is located in the project folder

Yes. I'm trying to access the file and then display it in a uiwebview. It is an HTML file. – infobug Apr 13 '12 at 7:37

Got it by using 

NSString *html = [animal description];
[self.animalView.animalDesciption loadHTMLString:html baseURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]]];

when the ViewController that contains the webview is pushed into the display.
