Q: 

Can we connect Sharepoint to SQL Server 6.5?

Not able to import application definition file!! Error: The metadata object with Name 'XYZ' and of Type 'LobSystemInstance' has a Property with Name 'DatabaseAccessProvider' that has either an invalid value or Type. Error was encountered at or just before Line: '10' and Position: '10'.

line 10 in ADF:

 <"Property Name="DatabaseAccessProvider" Type="System.String">SqlOledb<"/Property>

Please give me ideas on how to display data from SQL Server 6.5 in Sharepoint?

A: 

The value of the node is invalid. You need to use SqlServer or OleDb. Check out this page for more information:
