Thanks for replying, Your reply makes sense. I just
need to confirm
that if i used the following Dump
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/fiwiki/20130323/
And download all sql and XML files and populates my table using some
utility, then the whole Wikipedia data is configured ?
I mean to say that this dump provide me whole data of Wikipedia,
including content, revision history etc. Or i need something more.
Well, importDump.php is horrible and we have a thread "making imports
suck less" 20 min before yours. :)
But Ariel made some nice pages:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps/Tools_for_importing#Converting_to_SQL_first>
is the way and
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps/Import_examples> has a
viable tutorial.
In some cases you may prefer to avoid some stuff you don't need, or even
to populate some tables on your own... add your examples, as the page
says. ;-)
