If you mean Borland's Interbase, then there are a few ways[^]

Another short term possibility, may be to use an OLEDB provider[^] for it perhaps?

you'll probably have to use that driver to do the data import to SQL or MDB - no idea of its efficacy, most independent OLEDB drivers are 'wanting' :)

after googling this type of database "GDB" I found that its name is :Human Genome Database
please can anybody tell me how to get data from it and transfer it to another type of current used database

If it IS the human genome database, it would be VERY big ... and you will have to find out what format it currently is in - I couldn't find anything about that (it was closed down in 2008)

And if it WAS the the human genome DB, odds are your customer/employer would KNOW that ...

My money's still in an interbase/firebird DB ;)

Sir barneyman,
Thanks for being very helpful..
but sorry I didn't understand what exactly do you mean by "interbase/firebird DB"
Excuse me I have a good deal with SQL server and Access but I have a little knowledge of the other database types !!

Finally can I do the transfer between this database and the others?

Thanks

'Interbase' is/was a database product, like SQL or Oracle; there are commercial tools that will do it (in my original answer); if you don't want to/can't pay then you're going to have to import the data into SQL - this you can do if you find an OLEDB driver for interbase (second link) - i've never used Interbase, so I can't really help much further

I found some commercial tools that does that ..
