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.
Regards, IMran
