I think ripped means zipped. You need to unzip the file and I think
restore .
You should ask your provider , whether this is a backup file . In
that case you have to install SQL Server ( may be Express) and restore
the database . Check with your provider about the details of the file|||If it is a file with a .sql suffix then it is a collection of commands to
build a database in your system. This is text data so you can look at it
but it won't be very useful until you use it to build a database in SQL
Server.
This would be equivalent to having the source code to Doom - possibly very
interesting but hard to play without a compiler to convert it into a
program.

If it is a SQL Server MDF or LDF file or Backup file you may need to have a
SQL Server instance to attach /restore and read the contents.
First try to understand the format of file(s) and go from there. If it is a
normal .SQL file you can open the file in notepad and read.
