When checking for infections in SQL databases is WR also generating MD5
and whether WR checks them every second in the cloud since they are changing every second??
Or they will only be checked by the behavior and if this is not relevant to the database SQL file will be blocked??

And what if a file with the same extension as SQL will want to do something malicious on my computer?

Database files aren't executable so there's not much chance that malware could be hiding in them.
:Database Files SQL Server databases have three types of files, as follows File
Description
Primary:
The primary data file contains the startup information for the database and points to the other files in the database. User data and objects can be stored in this file or in secondary data files. Every database has one primary data file. The recommended file name extension for primary data files is .mdf.
Secondary:
Secondary data files are optional, are user-defined, and store user data. Secondary files can be used to spread data across multiple disks by putting each file on a different disk drive. Additionally, if a database exceeds the maximum size for a single Windows file, you can use secondary data files so the database can continue to grow.
The recommended file name extension for secondary data files is .ndf.
Transaction Log
The transaction log files hold the log information that is used to recover the database. There must be at least one log file for each database. The recommended file name extension for transaction logs is .ldf.
