Well, there are a couple of options - say - Javascript menu/Pure CSS menu etc.
It can be done - but its gonna take some effort since you will need to put in check for number of elements picked from database and then populating local variables with that(Offbeat - thats the reason static menus are preferred).
So a generic solution would be - using array and then fetching data from database and assigning values.
There are couple of drawbacks for this DYNAMIC approach -
1. Response time / delay is more then static content
2. Number of elements and their type needs to be checked
3. memory required varies as compared to static content
4. Server load increases ( Both in terms on content fetch and send , if data is more)
ALternate solution if feasable is to use AJAX where only required/related parts are updated/refreshed/fetched on need basis - resulting in efficient solution/code.
But if its a small project where in you are simply taking a few variables /configuration parameters - gievn approach may work. But again - it requires effort, which can be easily downloaded from a few websites free.

Quoting vinod1975
I have looked around and don't see one like this. I have so many different whereas statements needed in the desired script that it isn't easy to find examples let alone one that puts it into a drop down javascript menu.

Files that use the 8.3 naming convention can degrade NTFS drive performance.
Unless you have a good reason for keeping the 8.3 naming convention
intact (such as if you’re using 16-bit programs), a performance gain can
be achieved by disabling it.
Set the Registry
