Ars has seen a part of the leaked whois.sql data set file, roughly 16 GB in size, with emails, IP addresses, domains, physical addresses, and phone numbers of the users. We noticed WHOIS records for some domains were dated and contained incorrect information about domain owners—people who no longer own these assets.
Oh god he thinks sql files are "MySQL files" .... i was giving him the benefit of the doubt, and maybe it was some kind of binary backup. As far as I'm aware any backup of mysql would be SQL files just compressed in various ways.

I say this as a nerd who likes to help people with side projects, you need more of the basics if you don't know what a sql file is. Lmao he's going to :;
spin up a mysql server --> import a 16GB sql file ---> export it to cvs ---> (run data analytics on it)
Can Jon friman really not search an SQL database?
What does that even mean? They’re literally designed for it.
I built and run one purely for the tech illiterate boomers who can’t understand anything else.
It’s like giving someone an abacus and them not knowing “how to count the numbers on it”
To be fair to him , if you don't know the schema it can be confusing. I worked with bloated oracle DBs that have thousands of tables and columns like (PID,SID) with a million foreign keys. If you have a bit of experience you just run something to generate a graph of key dependencies.
The fact that he likely thinks a sql file is a "MySQL" file is the more concerning part.
