If you are using MySQL, it actually should be a whole folder. Inside you have different files for the table definitions and contents. ;-)

You can copy this folder to create a kind of backup of your database, but this is not the recommended way of doing this. I would use a tool like phpMyAdmin. Your ex-coworker probably installed this together with Apache, MySQL and PHP, so that you can access it with your webbrowser by going to the according URL when the Apache and MySQL servers are running. This URL can vary; a common name is http://localhost/phpmyadmin.
