I'm doing research project on Wikipedia, so i need the Wikipedia data. I
decided to use the database dumps of Wikipedia for this purpose but
there are too much files there i don't know which file populates the
which table. Would you please provide some information that tells the
dumps file mapping to exact DB table.

Your prompt response is much appreciated.

.sql.gz files are names exactly after each DB table; the list is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Database_layout
Example: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/fiwiki/20130410/fiwiki-20130410-iwlinks.sql.gz -> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Iwlinks_table
