[Xmldatadumps-l] Re: Querying for recently created pages

Hi, I am interested in performing analysis on recently created pages on English Wikipedia. One way to find recently created pages is downloading a meta-history file for the English language, and filter through the XML, looking for pages where the oldest revision is within the desired timespan. Since this requires a library to parse through XML string data, I would imagine this is much slower than a database query. Is page revision data available in one of the SQL dumps which I could query for this use case? Looking at the exported tables list <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps/What%27s_available_for_download#Database_tables>, it does not look like it is. Maybe this is intentional?
