Thank you, but I'm searching for a way to extract data from the .sql file programmatically. I can't install anything on the customer's PC.

I believe .sql files are just text .. try to open your file with notepad ..

Enrico, is a file of Microsoft SQL Management Studio ?

My customer said that it's a MySQL file, but I'm not sure at all...

Enrico,

phpMyAdmin lets you import a SQL file and process it

The file can be inside a ZIP (gzip, bzip2, zip) file

In example, all these forums (MySQL, over ten years) are exported into a single SQL file

Already tried with phpMyAdmin: no luck.

Enrico,

HeidySQL is also processing it nicely, have you tried it ?

Yes, please read the first messages of this thread.

Some table fields might be binnary data type, restore data to mysql server
mysql.exe -h xxxip -u root -p -C databasename < xxx.sql

Then with anytools like mysql.exe -h xxxip -u root -p can login and browse.
