If it's a plain sql text file you can read it with a simple app like
the notepad or whatever editor comes with windows. If it's not plain
sql, but was created with pg_dump with switches to make it a custom
compressed format then you'll need to use pg_restore to restore the
file. I generally store plain text sql files as .sql and compressed
dumps as .dmp so I can tell them apart by their names.
