In case of GML, if its compatable to XML, you can use XML stages. At certain case you can read it as binary as well.

You have posted this question in the ProfileStage forum. ProfileStage typically uses ODBC as its connection modality. If you can provide an ODBC driver for extracting the data, then the answer is yes.

Otherwise I suggest that you pre-process the data, as kumar_s suggests, using DataStage or any of the built-in tools for dumping data, and deposit same in an ODBC-accessible data source that ProfileStage can access.
