I received a data dump of the SQL database.
The data is formatted in an .sql file and is quite large (3.3 GB). I have no idea where to go from here. I have no access to the actual database and I don't know how to handle this .sql file in Python.
Can anyone help me? I am looking for specific steps to take so I can use this SQL file in Python and analyze the data. 
TLDR; Received an .sql file and no clue how to process/analyze the data that's in the file in Python. Need help in necessary steps to make the .sql usable in Python.
It would be an extraordinarily difficult process to try to construct any sort of Python program that would be capable of parsing the SQL syntax of any such of a dump-file and to try to do anything whatsoever useful with it.
"No. Absolutely not. Absolute nonsense."  (And I have over 30 years of experience, including senior management.)  You need to go back to your team, and/or to your manager, and look for a credible way to achieve your business objective ... because, "this isn't it."
The only credible thing that you can do with this file is to load it into another mySQL database ... and, well, "couldn't you have just accessed the database from which this dump came?"  Maybe so, maybe not, but "one wonders."
Anyhow – your team and its management need to "circle the wagons" and talk about your credible options.  Because, the task that you've been given, in my professional opinion, "isn't one."  Don't waste time – yours, or theirs.
