Is that a Postgres dump? If so, is it a plain text dump, a compressed
dump or a custom format dump?
You can restore plain text dumps by reading them in with the psql
utility. For the other dump formats you use pg_restore.
If it's something else, you'll need to provide a lot more detail for
us to know whether the file is at all useful to you.
