Hi Horst,

Yes, it uses Interbase.  Either v6.0.1.6 (The majority) or v7.5 (Just being
implemented).

Using the InterBase Console, it is possible to log in and attach to the
database files directly.  Once there, the table contents can be read in
plaintext.

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
