The dab file extension seems to be mainly related to OrangeCD Catalog, an advanced music database software for cataloging and organizing music collection with support for most audio formats.
The dab file contains the main OrangeCD Catalog database, used for browsing, searching and printing information about music data stored in computer.
Use OrangeCD Catalog to open *.dab database files.
Perhaps some database export is possible using OrangeCD, but otherwise a conversion of any kind for *.dab files seems unlikely.

The dab file extension is used by software from Autodesk, including Autodesk Civil 3D, AutoCAD for Microsoft Windows, and AutoCAD for Mac. Civil 3D uses the file in workflows that require rainfall distribution information.
A dab file contains a rainfall distribution table. It is a specialised binary data file rather than a general-purpose document, and is intended to be used by the Autodesk software that supports the table.
Open or use a dab file from within Autodesk Civil 3D or a compatible Autodesk AutoCAD installation. It is normally selected as rainfall distribution data in the relevant hydrology or analysis workflow rather than opened as a standalone document.
Use the Autodesk application for the platform on which the file is required: AutoCAD on Microsoft Windows or AutoCAD for Mac on Apple macOS.
There is no general-purpose conversion that turns a dab file into a useful document format. The file is a specialised Autodesk rainfall distribution table, not a format intended for ordinary file conversion.
To move the data to another workflow, use the supported rainfall-data import or export functions in Autodesk Civil 3D, when available, or recreate the table from its original rainfall data in the target software.
