Unles they deliberately obfuscate table content (eg thorugh "encryption") it 
should be easy to migrate or use eg via web interface.

AFAIK, Medtech uses Interbase? Never seen it before outside a demonstration

The database does *not* have to reside on the web server - in fact it is 
desirable for security reasons that it is not. To use such things through a 
web interface, you usually create an extra user with the least possible 
privileges to do that trick, and limit access to the database server from the 
web server to the database connection only, no other ports/services
