.dbc file contains all the connectivity info which the user needs to connect to the database. dbc means database configuration file. It will contain the server name, userid, password, type of db, stuffs like that.

.cfg -- cfg means configuration file. It can be used to configure anything. for example u want to set a value of a variable n export it value, just set the value in the .cfg file and run the cfg file in the start script.

.cfg resides in the config dir
.dbc resides in the db dir
