It's not, no. The data you see in these files is reconstituted from the data that shipped with the game client, but they're not a perfect match for the real data.

The game servers are all C++ and don't use stored procedures for general gameplay management. They do handle inventory management so that item duping is generally not possible, and complex things like cross-server character transfer use stored procedures.
