    I have a .sql file and I want to convert to a tar.gz text file format.

    How do I do this?

    Thanks.

    you mean on the fly, on your webserver?
    or on your normal PC?

    normal PC, 7-zip would be fine

    7-Zip is good stuff
    I use it to deal with any type of compressed files on Windows.

    Right-click on .sql file -> 7-Zip -> Add to archive (Archive Format: tar)

    btw .tar is not a text file format...
