Is it different from abiword opening a .doc file? Can it work with a different database?
No. The program depends on the exact way that the data is laid out in the database.

It's a program related to astronomy that requires latitude, longitude and elevation of places to calculate sunrise, sunset etc. For that I found the database from geonames.org. This database has a certain internal format which the program will be hard-coded to utilize.
