What is Dynamic URL?

A URL that results from the search of a database-driven Web site or the URL of a Web site that runs a script. In contrast to static URLs, in which the contents of the Web page do not change unless the changes are coded into the HTML, dynamic URLs are generated from specific queries to a site's database.
 
If the content of a site is stored in a database and pulled for display on pages on demand, dynamic URLs may be used. In that case, the site serves basically as a template for the content.
Usually, a dynamic URL would look something like this: Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.. You can spot dynamic URLs by looking for characters like:? = &.
Dynamic URLs have the disadvantage that different URLs can have the same content. So different users might link to URLs with different parameters which have the same content. That's one reason why webmasters sometimes want to rewrite their URLs to static ones.
 
A URL that outcomes from the pursuit of a database-driven Web webpage or the URL of a Web website that runs a content. Rather than static URLs, in which the substance of the Web page don't change unless the progressions are coded into the HTML, dynamic URLs are created from particular questions to a website's database.
 
Dynamic URLs or dynamic sites are generated at the moment a user submits a search query, dynamic URLs are generated from specific queries to a site's database.
