No; the "B" in "DB" means B-sized e.g. the size of a DB-25 connector. 
This is a common mistake e.g. a "DB-9" (sic) would be a 25-pin sized 
connector holding just 9 pins (it's really a "DE-9") with godnoze-what 
spacing.

Believe it or not there is a convention for it:

Yes, it's one of my gripes...
