I had downloaded libgen's desktop and have the data from it, but one of the backup files was a compressed SQL file, and I want to access the files in there, but don't know where to start with SQL...

SQL is a database, you don't typically store files in it.

Hand, n. A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into somebody’s pocket.

ok I don't know exactly how this works. I believe that there is the data, a backup of some sort for the files from libgen in the sql files though, would there be a way to access that?

SQL database is series of tables containing data. You can view it by using SQL commands. But your description isn't clear. What's the format of the files?

You can open it with just notepad etc. To view data in tables, you need to import it to database software that can read SQL files.
