.sql files are files filled with

insert into table(col1, col2, col3) values ('a', 'b', 'c')

web2py can't parse them, and frankly, it doesn't need to. it's a job best 
served by native tools.
it'll better to restore the dump using native tools, then read the section 
on the book 
<http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Legacy-databases-and-keyed-tables>,
 
which basically resorts to:

1. set migrate=true, fake_migrate_all=true
2. create models accordingly
3. verify that all works fine
4. set fake_migrate_all=false
5. continue working as usual with application development

as previously pointed, 2. can be satisfied (for the most part) with the 
extract_mysql_models.py
