My information of file are:

GVariant Database is the binary format used by gvdb. That file is compiled from XML files using glib-compile-schemas.

I'm having trouble thinking of a situation where decompiling would be useful, which explains why I don't think anyone has written a tool to do it (if that is possible). Without knowing what you're trying to do it's hard to know if you need to decompile it, but my guess is that you don't since you should already have the XML files, and GSettings uses the binary format.
