Please include more context for what you are trying to achieve. What platform is your Adabas data on? What tools do you have?  
Are you looking to access Adabas data via SQL on an ongoing basis? If so, from what?  
Are you exporting Adabas data to a data wharehouse? Replicating transactions?

Please provide more information about the end use of your application so we can discuss alternative approaches.
