Hello Guys, i have downloaded the English Wikipedia Dump (en.wikipedia) present in three sub-parts namely (xaa, xab, xac) which amounts to around 6GB of data in compressed format. Now the issue is that only the 1st part xaa shows a .bz2 extension while the other two (xab & xac) are simply data files. If they are Splitted by the use of some utility , How do i merge them into 1 single (.bz2 ) file amounting to around 6gb
cat xa? > bigdamnfile.bz2
There are 5 parts (to xae), get all of them.
How periodically is the Database Dump Revised or Updated....( week or fortnight ????)
Roughly weekly.
