Since no database type was specified, I'll make this generic.
Assuming you have an ODBC data source and it is set up in your Odbc Administrator...

using System;
using System.Data.Odbc;

namespace Dani_368900
{
   class Program
   {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         using (OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection("DSN=..."))
         {
            conn.Open();
            string strSQL = "some SQL HERE ... select asdf from T where ...";
            OdbcCommand cmd = new OdbcCommand(strSQL, conn);
            using (OdbcDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
            {
               while (rdr.Read())
               {
                  Console.WriteLine(rdr[0]); // or use rdr["COLUMN_NAME"].ToString();
               }

               rdr.Close();
            }

            conn.Close();
         }
      }
   }
}

            }

            conn.Close();
         }
      }
