Bell, what is the file extention on that download? If it is the backup created by the program - sql.txt -, you can use a text editor, such as notepad, to read the sql statements. Actually even if it is unzipped .sql file, you can read it with a text editor.

HOWEVER, if you do not know sql, I would not advice you to attempt to do changes and then try to restore it.

Perhaps, if we knew more about what you were trying to accompanlish we could help you find a solution.
