[support] Where are my SQL db files?

[Victor Kane]

Just above the line you cite ("Here's the variable") is an explanation of
the various fields, explaining that "dd08" is the database you want.

Check out the Drupal Handbook Documentation:
Copying a site to a local MAMP installation on a Mac
http://drupal.org/node/232460

Has some good info, even though you don't need to go to "terminal mode".
