They tend to be more useful for openings as you are guarenteed that at least the starting position is going to be in the database, although you may get games with roughly the right material in, the odds of a database game having exactly the endgame position you want is quite low - unless it's trivial anyway. Endgame books are more likely to be helpful if you need guidance in an ending.
thats what i said... as long as they AREN'T computer generated.. i'm sure those exist too.
EGTB, as has been pointed out are reverse engineered, brute force solutions and are not allowed on this site - except once the game has finished when you can do what you want.
