dan I have the database which consists of 4.3 million games of gm. I want to learn some instructive ideas or patterns which arise in gm games and apply to my own games. What do you suggest me to do because it is obvious that i cannot go through all 4.3 million games. And how to identify the moment that idea come into play. please help!

No short answer to this one. You can ask the database to show you games that players rated 2600+ played with your openings (say pick 200 recent) & then ask it to show you the games in "movie mode" (~3 sec/move) and you absorb/gestalt the patterns that strong players use in those openings to develop their pieces, push pawns, and generally play/attack. That's quite different than reading instructive anthology game books, where good authors teach you openings/middlegame/endgame/strategy/principles etc.

@@danheismanchess yes but database is the free source that I can afford

Sorry, don't understand your question. You can learn from almost any game except maybe ones where one side falls into a quick trap you know & resigns.
