1. Use wp_insert_post(), which can insert pages as well: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post

   See post_type below.

   $post = array(
     'ID' => [ <post id> ] //Are you updating an existing post?
     'menu_order' => [ <order> ] //If new post is a page, sets the order should it appear in the tabs.
     'page_template' => [ <template file> ] //Sets the template for the page.
     'comment_status' => [ 'closed' | 'open' ] // 'closed' means no comments.
     'ping_status' => [ ? ] //Ping status?
     'pinged' => [ ? ] //?
     'post_author' => [ <user ID> ] //The user ID number of the author.
     'post_category' => [ array(<category id>, <...>) ] //Add some categories.
     'post_content' => [ <the text of the post> ] //The full text of the post.
     'post_date' => [ Y-m-d H:i:s ] //The time post was made.
     'post_date_gmt' => [ Y-m-d H:i:s ] //The time post was made, in GMT.
     'post_excerpt' => [ <an excerpt> ] //For all your post excerpt needs.
     'post_name' => [ <the name> ] // The name (slug) for your post
     'post_parent' => [ <post ID> ] //Sets the parent of the new post.
     'post_password' => [ ? ] //password for post?
     'post_status' => [ 'draft' | 'publish' | 'pending' ] //Set the status of the new post.
     'post_title' => [ <the title> ] //The title of your post.
     'post_type' => [ 'post' | 'page' ] //Sometimes you want to post a page.
     'tags_input' => [ '<tag>, <tag>, <...>' ] //For tags.
     'to_ping' => [ ? ] //?
   );  
   
   // Insert the post into the database
   wp_insert_post( $post );

2. WordPress provides the wp->query API method for database abstraction. You can create the appropriate query to make a Page when needed.
