I doubt that there's a way to say "read this file" and have Sage provide a fully uncompressed and reformatted database for you (unless there is someone out there already working on this data). However, Sage is built on the programming language Python (v2.x right now), and you can do IO with the language. Check the documentation at <https://docs.python.org/2/library/index.html> (Sec 15.2 and possibly other places). You don't say how familiar you are with programming, Sage, and Python, so I stuck with the simple stuff. Ask here for more clarification, as needed. HTH Justin -- Justin C.
