DBC - This is a binary file that has the following structure:

 
   Header (20 bytes) 
   Data (records count * record size) 
   Text data (string block size)

The structure of the title:

 
   4 bytes (byte[4]) - signature (always 57 44 42 43 or WDBC) 
   4 bytes (uint) - records count (Indicates how many records has the table) 
   4 bytes (uint) - fields count (Indicates how many columns in this table) 
   4 bytes (uint) - record size (Indicates the size in bytes of the line) 
   4 bytes (uint) - string block size (size in bytes of the block with the text) 

* Note: usually a single value occupies 4 bytes (but not always)

A special feature of reading this file that in the most prompt record does not contain text,

but contains a offset in string block size

mangos comes with a basic dbc reading inside the contrib/ directory

anyway best way of reading dbc is having a SQL dump

I don't think that's a DBC viewer.
