Best way: insert into new database, and delete from old one.

If you have many records, it's good idea to deactivate indexes until you
import all records into new database.

No.

You will have to do it one way or another. Easiest way is to use some
data-pump tool. There are plenty available on Windows, for Linux you can
try my fbexport tool if you wish...

fbexport -S -D source.gdb -V tablename -Q "WHERE ..."
fbexport -I -D dest.gdb -V tablename
