You don't need the database or the projects to use the GSG. There is virtually no added code in them - they were deliberately done almost entirely through setting properties and allowing the default methods to be called. All of the code I did write (three methods, I think) is actually there in the graphics.
The sample projects in the IBO installation will be more useful for developing technique.
