I generated a database form in InfoPath 2010 but I don’t know how to
publish that form in SharePoint 2010
- Update:
It is impossiblу to generate a database from Infopath. The database should already be present if you connect to or interact with it from Infopath
In Infopath Designer on ribbon File > Publish > choose further quite self-explanatory choices presented by Publishing Wizard
If you created an Infopath form template from Database template in Infopath Designer 2010 then you might not need to publish it at all
First I really don’t know if I created a correct database form in
InfoPath 2010 because I published that form in SharePoint 2010 but
when I open the list in SharePoint I get an error
If you created database form then it is already impossible to publish it to sharepoint list, only to a sharepoint form library or site content type.
Access to a database through generated Main data connection of such a form can be made only from Filler/client form but not from browser through IPFS (Infopath Form Services). In order to get to database from Infopath form in browser it is necessary to use web services or code or third-party tools.
Do you have any comment, manual or link where I can get information
about database form in InfoPath 2010 and how to publish in SharePoint
I believe Infopath wizard steps (of Publishing Wizard, Data Connection Wizard, etc.) which you used for creation of Infopath database form have very detailed instructions which you should just carefully read and follow.

Answer to comment:
after I do the connectionof my form by SharePoint server its possible
tu publish or use this form in sharePoint or definitely I have to use
Web Service
Please put one question per post. The discussions are discouraged on this board.
It is not Sharepoint Server that makes connection or even involved in your case.
And this all depends on your requirements that are quite blurred and fuzzy in your question.
As I understood you created an Infopath template having chosen Database template under Advanced Form Templates in Infopath Designer. This form is nothing more than Filler form with forced on creation receive/secondary/read-only data connection to a database (you could have created Filler form and then any other data connections and "advanced" additions).
You can publish any kind of form to Sharepoint (or anywhere else). But the filler form cannot be run in browser (through IPFS, Sharepoint Server's Infopath Form Service). When the user opens (creates, updates, edits) XML forms of filler type/compatibility from sharepoint, they are opened in client/filler form only.
Client/filler forms use another protocol for connecting which does not have double hop authentication issues which have browser forms. If you would want to change this form to web browser form, then from browser this kind of form has to use web service to connect to a database.
Note that browser-enabled forms can be run both from browser (and this is available only in enterprise Sharepoint Server's IIPFS), on server, and Filler (on client machines), while filler forms can be run only from Filler (but not from browser).
