Hi,
I have url structure like index.php?option=mycomponent&id=12
I would like to rewrite id=12 to something like "blue car" where blue car I can place somewhere in mysql.
Is it possible?

A:
The core Joomla SEF URLs build urls based on the alias of your article/menu item. Instead of yourdomain.com/index.php?option=mycomponent&id=12 it would be yourdomain.com/blue-car
To turn that on:
- In the root of the directory Joomla is installed in and look for htaccess.txt and rename it .htaccess
- In the admin > global configuration > site tab look for SEO settings and turn them all on (unless you dont want the .html extensions, that one is optional)

Joomla SEO URLs don't contain IDs at all. You can control what shows up in the URLs with the alias of the content.

If you are talking about SEO URLs for your custom component, then you need to write the router that tells Joomla how to handle your URLs. See http://docs.joomla.org/Routing

If you have some $ to spend definitely look into sh404SEF extension for Joomla, terrific component.
If not then stick to Joomla's native SEF, see Joomla's SEF URLs tutorial.
