If the data in the database is viewable view a standard webcrawl, you may have issues though. Does your site require a login?

no log-in, basically im a travel agent so the data the client searches is viewable

Ok, do you don't want the data on the pages that the client searches to, to be indexed by google?

i dont mind google to scan the sql file im showing, however i dont want it to go further from that file in mysql...and the other thing is, is there a possibility that google makes this info available to everyone, and would there be a possibility that it could be injected by hackers...if so help!!!

Unless you follow proper procedures, there is always a chance of sql injection attacks.

Google doesn't scan into databases. That's not the way it's designed. It uses web spiders to crawl over web pages, so if you aren't exposing your data over the web then it's not going to be scanned. If you are exposing the data via web pages, then you can choose to implement a robots.txt file and tell the search engine not to index your site, but if the data is sensitive then I'd suggest that you really should consider protecting any such pages behind logins.

Solution 2

search on google robots.txt and set it to allow to read certain part of your website. You might have .sql file in some places, where its open on the web... Other then that, google can't read your database.

Good Luck

Unless you explicitly link to the .sql file from a web page, Google won't reach it. It can't magically infer things - more importantly, Google doesn't read databases; well not yet anyway.
