LibreOffice can import at least some AppleWorks databases into a spreadsheet format, though all formatting will be lost, and calculation fields will come over as the result, not the formula.
Nothing else can import these databases. The only way to transfer one is to export it as ASCII (plain text), for which of course you need to have a working copy of AppleWorks. Then you can import the result into another database program, though of course again formatting and calculation formulae will be lost.
This page examines alternative database programs, though there isn't a lot of choice: http://rfwilmut.net/notes/aw/page5.html
