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.

What you won't get is: - Deleted content - User information (user list, preferences, watchlists, passwords, ips...) .bz2 means it's compressed with bzip2. Use the previous extension. No. There's no multiple .bz2 with same name. You have for instance enwiki-20130403-pages-meta-history27.xml-p038204154p039009132.bz2 and enwiki-20130403-pages-meta-history27.xml-p038204154p039009132.7z, which is the same file compressed in two different ways (bzip2 and 7-zip), but that is different from eg. enwiki-20130403-pages-meta-history27.xml-p038204154p039009132.bz2 as it's a different piece of the content history. In summary, you need all of them. On the other hand, there's a bit of redundancy about files. pages-meta-history contains everything from pages-meta-current, which itself contains everything at pages-articles. And the stub-whatever contain less than the whatever versions. You are unlikley to need the abstract.xml, etc. In fact, you probably don't even need the meta files, pages-articles is probably enough for you.
