Extract text from DBeaver project files (DBP)
To convert DBP projects to another format, you need DBeaver or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Database Connection Archive" file type, you need software like DBeaver or a similar tool.
A .dbp file is most commonly a database project connections export created by DBeaver, a popular universal database tool. Under the hood, these files use standard ZIP compression to bundle XML or JSON connection configuration settings, SQL scripts, and project metadata. Less frequently, .dbp files operate as materials testing data files for ZwickRoell testXpert software (which utilizes an underlying SQLite database structure), or as game asset data packages for the Diabotical Glitch Engine based on Unreal Engine 4.
Users often need to convert or extract .dbp files because they are tightly bound to their parent applications. The main disadvantage of the .dbp format is this strict software lock-in. A DBeaver project file cannot easily be imported into competing database management tools like DataGrip or pgAdmin without manual extraction and reformatting. Similarly, testXpert data is proprietary and typically requires an expensive software license to read properly in its native state.
The best conversion targets depend on the specific file variant. For DBeaver .dbp files, extracting them to a standard ZIP archive allows users to access the raw XML connection strings. For testXpert .dbp files, converting the SQLite database to CSV or SQL dumps makes the material testing data accessible in standard spreadsheet software. Note that converting these files to generic formats will lose software-specific UI settings or visual project layouts.
This file format is notoriously difficult to process with standard converters because the .dbp extension is overloaded with entirely different internal structures (ZIP, SQLite, or proprietary binary game packages). Often, only the original software can properly read or export the structured data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DBP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DPB, DBF, EXE, ERD, HAT and USR files.
If you want to convert DBP file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use DBeaver or similar software from the "Database Project Export" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to DBP, try DBeaver or another comparable tool in the "Database Project Export" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DBP converter.
