The dba file extension is associated with an older database format used by Turbo Prolog, an integrated development tool created by Borland Software Corporation.
A dba file contains database data that Turbo Prolog programs can use.
Turbo Prolog was primarily used on MS-DOS systems and is now obsolete.
Open the dba file with the original Turbo Prolog environment, usually on a compatible MS-DOS system or in an MS-DOS-compatible setup. The file may need to be loaded by the Turbo Prolog program that uses its database.
Conversion normally requires the original Turbo Prolog environment and a program that can read the database.
If the data can be opened, a Turbo Prolog program may be used to export it to a more current format. Otherwise, the file may not be practically convertible.

The dba file extension is associated with CryENGINE, a video gaming engine developed by Crytek and used by various video games.
A dba file contains animation data for CryENGINE. Its animation system uses these files to organize animation data for characters and other animated objects.
This format is associated with the CryENGINE Free SDK for Microsoft Windows. It is intended for use by the engine and its development tools, not for direct editing by ordinary database software.
Open the file with the CryENGINE Free SDK on Microsoft Windows. The SDK's development tools can use the animation database as part of a CryENGINE project.
A dba file is not normally meant to be opened as a standalone document. If the SDK does not recognize it, it may belong to a different project or require the related CryENGINE assets.
The file is an engine resource, so converting it to a common database or animation format is not normally supported.
To change the animations, use the source animation assets and the CryENGINE Free SDK's asset pipeline to rebuild the database for the project.

Gridgen is engineering software for generating computational grids. A DBA file stores geometry data that Gridgen uses as part of the grid-generation process.
The DBA format is associated with Gridgen and is intended for use within that software rather than as a general-purpose graphics format. Gridgen runs on Microsoft Windows.
Open the DBA file in Gridgen on Microsoft Windows. Use Gridgen's file-opening functions to load the geometry data in the context where it is needed.
To change formats, open the file in Gridgen and use the software's supported geometry or grid export options, if available for the required destination format.

WaveLab is an audio editing program developed by Steinberg for Microsoft Windows. Its .dba file is an application database associated with WaveLab's audio-file management features.
The database contains information used by WaveLab to catalogue or work with audio files. It is not an audio recording itself and is intended for use by WaveLab rather than as an interchange format.
Open the .dba file in Steinberg WaveLab on Microsoft Windows. It is an internal WaveLab database, so other audio editors and media players generally cannot display its contents correctly.
A .dba file is a WaveLab database, not an audio file, so it does not have a meaningful conversion to an audio format. Keep it with the WaveLab data it belongs to and use WaveLab to work with the associated audio files or export those files separately.
